Your current U.S. representative for Illinois's 7th congressional district (IL-07) is **Danny K. Davis** (a Democrat). 

He has held this seat since 1997. In July 2025, Representative Davis announced that he would not seek re-election for a 16th term and will be retiring at the end of the 119th Congress. He will continue to serve as your representative until his current term ends in early January 2027. 

*(Note: State Representative La Shawn K. Ford, who was endorsed by Davis, won the Democratic primary in March 2026 and is currently running to succeed him in the upcoming November 2026 general election.)*
