Who is my U.S. representative in IL-05?

I don't have reliable, up-to-date information about who currently represents Illinois's 5th congressional district, and this is exactly the kind of fact that can change with elections.

Here are the best ways to find your current representative:

1. **House.gov's lookup tool**: Go to https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative and enter your ZIP code. This is the most authoritative source.

2. **Search directly**: Look up "Illinois 5th congressional district representative" on a search engine for current results.

3. **Check your voter registration**: Your state or county election website often lists your representatives.

One thing worth noting: district boundaries were redrawn after the 2020 Census (redistricting), so if you're checking older information, make sure it reflects the current district maps.

If you can tell me your specific city or ZIP code, I can help you figure out how to confirm which district you're actually in—but for the name of the current officeholder, I'd genuinely recommend the official House.gov tool to make sure you get accurate information.
