Who is my U.S. representative in IL-05?
Your U.S. Representative for Illinois's 5th District is Mike Quigley (Democrat). He's represented IL-05 since 2009 and is running for re-election against Republican Tom Hanson in the November 3, 2026 general election. Patch Ballotpedia A few notes: The district covers all or parts of Chicago, Inverness, Arlington Heights, Barrington Hills, Des Plaines, Palatine, Mount Prospect, Deer Park, Kildeer, Lake Zurich, Long Grove, and North Barrington. Patch Quigley won the March 17, 2026 Democratic primary over several challengers. Patch He's also announced he intends to run for mayor of Chicago in February 2027, so if re-elected to Congress this term could be his last full one in the seat. Patch If you want to double check you're actually in IL-05 (district lines can be confusing near the edges), you can look yourself up at house.gov's "Find Your Representative" tool.
