I don't have access to your personal location or information, but I can tell you who currently represents Illinois in the U.S. Senate. Let me search for the most up-to-date information.
Illinois is currently represented in the U.S. Senate by two Democrats:

1. **Dick Durbin** — the senior senator, who has served since 1997. Notably, 
Democratic incumbent Dick Durbin is not seeking a sixth term
 in the upcoming 2026 election.

2. **Tammy Duckworth** — the junior senator, who has served since 2017.

Both are shown serving together in recent news coverage, such as reporting on how 
Illinois senators Tammy Duckworth and Dick Durbin split on a government shutdown vote in the Senate
.

Note that Senator Durbin's seat is up for election in 2026. 
The 2026 United States Senate election in Illinois will be held on November 3, 2026, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the state of Illinois, with Democratic lieutenant governor Juliana Stratton and Republican former state party chair Don Tracy as the nominees for their respective parties.


If you'd like to contact either senator or find your specific House representative (which depends on your district), let me know!
