Who is my U.S. representative in IL-13?
Your current representative for Illinois's 13th congressional district is Nikki Budzinski (D), who has held the seat since 2023 (currently serving her second term).She's running for reelection in 2026, facing Republican challenger Jeff Wilson in the general election on November 3, 2026, after winning her Democratic primary in March. Ballotpedia Worth noting: IL-13 is a somewhat unusually shaped district stretching across central Illinois, so if you're near the edge of the district it's worth double-checking your exact address against a district map — happy to help with that if you want.
