Who is my U.S. representative in IL-16?

I don't have reliable real-time information about who currently represents Illinois's 16th Congressional District, and district representatives can change due to elections, resignations, or redistricting.

To find your current U.S. representative accurately, I'd recommend:

1. **House.gov** - Visit the official website of the U.S. House of Representatives at house.gov, where you can search by state or district.

2. **Enter your ZIP code** - Go to house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative and enter your address to find your specific representative (this is especially helpful since district boundaries can be complex).

3. **Ballotpedia** - This site provides detailed, updated information about elected officials.

4. **Your state's election board** - The Illinois State Board of Elections website can also help.

Would you like general information about how congressional districts work or how to contact your representative's office once you identify them?
