Question: Who is My Illinois State Senator and What District Do I Live In?
Answer: Chicago and suburban Cook County, IL residents can quickly identify their Illinois State Senators by typing their address into a database called Civic Footprint.

The search engine gives contact information for every state senator. Your district number can be found in parentheses after your state senator's name. The database was created by Chicago's non-profit Center for Neighborhood Technology.

Illinois residents who do not live in Chicago or suburban Cook County can go to the Illinois State Board of Elections site to identify their Illinois State Senator.

Our state senators serve in the State of Illinois General Assembly or legislature, which meets in Springfield, IL.
