Who are my U.S. senators in Illinois?
Illinois's current U.S. Senators (as of July 2026) are: Dick Durbin (D) — in office since 1997, Senate Democratic Whip. He announced he will not seek re-election, so his seat is up for grabs in the November 2026 election. Democratic lieutenant governor Juliana Stratton and Republican Don Tracy are the nominees to succeed him, following primary elections held on March 17, 2026. Wikipedia Tammy Duckworth (D) — has held the junior Senate seat since 2017, with her current term running through January 3, 2029. LegalClarity So Durbin remains a senator until his term ends in January 2027, but he won't be running again — whoever wins the November 2026 election (Stratton or Tracy) will take over that seat.
