  • 117Th Illinois Congressional Delegation
    ILLINOIS CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION 117th Congress Two Senators represent each state in the U.S. Senate and are elected to serve six-year terms. U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D) of Springfield was elected to represent Illinois for a fifth term in 2020. Tammy Duckworth of Hoffman Estates (D) was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2016. (See pages 16-19 for U.S. Senator photos and biographies.) In the November 2020 general election, Illinois voters elected 18 candidates to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives for two-year terms. Thirteen Democratic and five Republican U.S. Representatives were elected to serve in the 117th Congress. The November 2020 general election was historical, with the most women ever elect- ed to serve in Congress. Democrat Marie Newman and Republican Mary Miller — repre- senting districts that were previously held by men — added to the increase of female Representatives. Newman definitively won the general election to represent the 13th District after defeating 16-year incumbent U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinksi (D) in the March pri- mary. Miller won the 15th District seat that was previously held by U.S. Rep. John Shimkus (R), who served 12 terms in Congress and opted not to run for reelection. Since 1818, Illinois has had a total of 20 female U.S. Representatives. In 2021, seven are currently rep- resenting our state — a record-breaking total. The 117th Congress serves from Jan. 3, 2021, to Jan. 3, 2023. A view of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. 36 | 2021-2022 ILLINOIS BLUE BOOK 1st Congressional District BOBBY L.

  • Congress of the United States Washington, DC 20515
    Congress of the United States Washington, DC 20515 May 07, 2020 The Honorable Mark Esper Secretary Department of Defense 1000 Defense Pentagon Washington, DC 20301-1000 Dear Secretary Esper, We thank you for your quick response to our last letter asking for Title 32, Section 502(f) activations of the Illinois National Guard for our state’s COVID-19 response. Illinois received approval for up to 4,000 activations, and those men and women have been critical to our state’s fight against the virus. Unfortunately, more must be done to address the ongoing pandemic. Therefore, we request you authorize Section 502(f) activations for up to 2,000 personnel until June 30, 2020. In his May 3, 2020 letter to the President asking for this extension, Governor Pritzker highlighted some of the lifesaving work accomplished by the Illinois National Guard. We too are proud of what we have seen. Using their unique training, our Soldiers and Airmen stepped up to fill critical gaps, from expediting the delivery of medical equipment to supporting the rapid expansion of alternate testing sites. We have made progress, in no small part due to the Illinois National Guard. Governor Pritzker, however, must continue to call on our neighbors in uniform: his plan to reopen the state relies on them to help combat the spread of COVID-19 in “hard hit areas such as prisons, nursing homes, and other congregate housing facilities.” An extension of Section 502(f) activations would reaffirm the federal government’s support to states in this public health battle and it would also provide standardized federal benefits like TRICARE health insurance to the National Guard personnel on the frontlines.
