'''Illinois's 3rd congressional district''' includes parts of [[Cook County, Illinois|Cook County]] and [[DuPage County]], and has been represented by [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democrat]] [[Delia Ramirez]] since January 3, 2023. The district was previously represented by [[Marie Newman]] from 2021 to 2023, [[Dan Lipinski]] from 2005 to 2021, and by Lipinski's father [[Bill Lipinski|Bill]] from 1983 to 2005.
The district includes the [[Chicago metropolitan area|western and southwestern suburbs]] of [[Chicago]] as far as the [[DuPage County, Illinois|DuPage County]] border, as well as portions of the Southwest Side of the city of Chicago itself, and covers {{convert|124.5|sqmi|km2}}, making it one of the [[List of United States congressional districts by area|50 smallest districts]] in the U.S., although there are five smaller districts in Illinois. It is adjacent to the [[Illinois' 1st congressional district|1st district]] to the east and south, the [[Illinois' 4th congressional district|4th district]] to the north, and the [[Illinois' 11th congressional district|11th district]] to the west, and also borders the [[Illinois' 6th congressional district|6th]] and [[Illinois' 7th congressional district|7th districts]] at its northwestern and northeastern corners, respectively. The district was created following the [[United States Census, 1830|1830 census]] and came into being in 1833, five months before Chicago was organized as a town; it initially included [[northern Illinois|northern]] and [[Forgottonia|western Illinois]]<ref name=ParsonsI>{{Cite book |last=Parsons |first=Stanley B. |author2=William W.

In Oak Lawn, the district's largest suburb, Irish outnumber Polish 30%-19%; in neighboring Burbank, the district's third largest suburb, Polish outnumber Irish by an identical margin.{{Citation needed|date=February 2010}}
More recently a large [[Mexican American|Mexican]] community has moved to the district, notably in Berwyn, Cicero, Hodgkins and Summit where they represent over 30% of the population, and along [[Archer Avenue (Chicago)|Archer Avenue]], a major Chicago artery that runs through the district's northern section.<ref name=Barone2002 /> There is also a sizable [[Greek American|Greek]] community in Oak Lawn and Palos Hills. In the last two decades, there has been notable [[Arab American|Arab]] settlement in the vicinity of Bridgeview, and by the 2000 census, Arabs represented one of the five largest non-Hispanic ethnic groups in Bridgeview and three adjacent suburbs. Approximately 41% of the district's residents live in Chicago. Roughly 21% of the district's population are Hispanic, 68% are Caucasian, 6% are [[African American]] and 3% are [[Asian American|Asian]]; redistricting following the [[United States Census, 2000|2000 census]] and the continued influx of Hispanics tripled the minority population from a decade earlier, as the district in its previous configuration had a population that was 7% Hispanic, 2% African American and 1% Asian.<ref name=Barone1998>{{Cite book |last=Barone |first=Michael |author2=Grant Ujifusa |author3=Richard E.

[[George W.

Much of the district's current suburban territory was in the [[Illinois' 4th congressional district|4th district]] from the 1950s to the 1970s, when that was a solidly Republican suburban district represented by [[Ed Derwinski]]. More recently, [[Lyons Township, Cook County, Illinois|Lyons]], [[Palos Township, Cook County, Illinois|Palos]] and [[Riverside Township, Cook County, Illinois|Riverside Townships]] in the western half of the 3rd district have all voted for Bush in 2000.<ref>''Congressional Districts in the 2000s: A Portrait of America'', p. 300.</ref> Over the last eight presidential elections, the Democratic nominee for Congress has run an average of [[split-ticket voting|20 points ahead]] of the party's nominee for president in the district.<ref>Based on results from 1976 through 2004 in the ''Guide to U.S. Elections''.</ref>
Redistricting which took effect for the [[1992 United States House of Representatives elections|1992 elections]] kept only 40% of the district's previous area, and pitted nine-term incumbent Russo – who changed his residence rather than run in the [[Illinois' 2nd congressional district|2nd district]], which now included his previous home – against five-term incumbent [[Bill Lipinski]], who had previously represented the neighboring [[Illinois' 5th congressional district|5th district]], in the Democratic primary.

{{main|United States House of Representatives elections in Illinois, 2004}}
[[File:Danlipinski.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Rep. Dan Lipinski]]
The district's seat changed hands under somewhat controversial circumstances in [[United States House elections, 2004|2004]]. Lipinski was renominated in the primary election, but in August announced his intention to withdraw from the race, just two weeks before the deadline for replacing a candidate on the ballot. Four days later, the district's ward and township committeemen – including Lipinski himself as well as Mayor Daley's brother [[John P. Daley|John]] and [[Illinois House of Representatives|Illinois House]] Speaker [[Michael Madigan]] – met to choose a replacement; Lipinski nominated his son [[Dan Lipinski|Dan]], an assistant professor at the [[University of Tennessee]], and he was approved without opposition despite not having lived in Illinois since 1989. In his initial campaign, the younger Lipinski stated that his policies made him "not really that different from" his father, and indicated that he would oppose [[same-sex marriage in the United States|same-sex marriage]] as well as abortion except when the mother's life was at stake. True to the district's heritage, he identified Reagan as his political hero.<ref>Barone, et al. (2005), pp. 567-568.</ref>

'''Illinois's 3rd congressional district''' includes parts of [[Cook County, Illinois|Cook County]] and [[DuPage County]], and has been represented by [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democrat]] [[Delia Ramirez]] since January 3, 2023.

===Demographics===
The district, situated between the Hispanic-majority 4th district to the north and the black-majority 1st and 7th districts to the east, is the home of numerous sizable and historic [[Maps of American ancestries|ethnic groups]] including [[Irish American|Irish]], [[Polish American|Polish]], [[Arab American|Arab]], [[German American|German]], [[Italian American|Italian]] and [[Czech American|Czech]] immigrants and their descendants. At 14.2%, the Irish make up the largest white ethnic group in the district,<ref name=Ethnic3rd>{{Cite book |editor-last=Tarr |editor-first=David R. |title=Congressional Districts in the 2000s: A Portrait of America |year=2003 |publisher=CQ Press |location=Washington, D.C. |isbn=1-56802-849-0 |page=[https://archive.org/details/congressionaldis0000unse_b6v5/page/301 301] |url=https://archive.org/details/congressionaldis0000unse_b6v5/page/301 }}</ref><ref name=Barone2002>{{Cite book|last=Barone |first=Michael |author-link=Michael Barone (pundit) |author2=Richard E.

In Oak Lawn, the district's largest suburb, Irish outnumber Polish 30%-19%; in neighboring Burbank, the district's third largest suburb, Polish outnumber Irish by an identical margin.{{Citation needed|date=February 2010}}
More recently a large [[Mexican American|Mexican]] community has moved to the district, notably in Berwyn, Cicero, Hodgkins and Summit where they represent over 30% of the population, and along [[Archer Avenue (Chicago)|Archer Avenue]], a major Chicago artery that runs through the district's northern section.<ref name=Barone2002 /> There is also a sizable [[Greek American|Greek]] community in Oak Lawn and Palos Hills. In the last two decades, there has been notable [[Arab American|Arab]] settlement in the vicinity of Bridgeview, and by the 2000 census, Arabs represented one of the five largest non-Hispanic ethnic groups in Bridgeview and three adjacent suburbs. Approximately 41% of the district's residents live in Chicago. Roughly 21% of the district's population are Hispanic, 68% are Caucasian, 6% are [[African American]] and 3% are [[Asian American|Asian]]; redistricting following the [[United States Census, 2000|2000 census]] and the continued influx of Hispanics tripled the minority population from a decade earlier, as the district in its previous configuration had a population that was 7% Hispanic, 2% African American and 1% Asian.<ref name=Barone1998>{{Cite book |last=Barone |first=Michael |author2=Grant Ujifusa |author3=Richard E.

==Politics==

[[George W. Bush]] received 41% of the vote here in both [[2000 United States presidential election|2000]] and [[2004 United States presidential election|2004]] despite not exceeding 21% in any of the other four south side districts; it was his best performance in any district located primarily within Cook County. Much of the district's current suburban territory was in the [[Illinois' 4th congressional district|4th district]] from the 1950s to the 1970s, when that was a solidly Republican suburban district represented by [[Ed Derwinski]]. More recently, [[Lyons Township, Cook County, Illinois|Lyons]], [[Palos Township, Cook County, Illinois|Palos]] and [[Riverside Township, Cook County, Illinois|Riverside Townships]] in the western half of the 3rd district have all voted for Bush in 2000.<ref>''Congressional Districts in the 2000s: A Portrait of America'', p. 300.</ref> Over the last eight presidential elections, the Democratic nominee for Congress has run an average of [[split-ticket voting|20 points ahead]] of the party's nominee for president in the district.<ref>Based on results from 1976 through 2004 in the ''Guide to U.S. Elections''.</ref>
Redistricting which took effect for the [[1992 United States House of Representatives elections|1992 elections]] kept only 40% of the district's previous area, and pitted nine-term incumbent Russo – who changed his residence rather than run in the [[Illinois' 2nd congressional district|2nd district]], which now included his previous home – against five-term incumbent [[Bill Lipinski]], who had previously represented the neighboring [[Illinois' 5th congressional district|5th district]], in the Democratic primary.

{{main|United States House of Representatives elections in Illinois, 2004}}
[[File:Danlipinski.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Rep. Dan Lipinski]]
The district's seat changed hands under somewhat controversial circumstances in [[United States House elections, 2004|2004]]. Lipinski was renominated in the primary election, but in August announced his intention to withdraw from the race, just two weeks before the deadline for replacing a candidate on the ballot. Four days later, the district's ward and township committeemen – including Lipinski himself as well as Mayor Daley's brother [[John P. Daley|John]] and [[Illinois House of Representatives|Illinois House]] Speaker [[Michael Madigan]] – met to choose a replacement; Lipinski nominated his son [[Dan Lipinski|Dan]], an assistant professor at the [[University of Tennessee]], and he was approved without opposition despite not having lived in Illinois since 1989. In his initial campaign, the younger Lipinski stated that his policies made him "not really that different from" his father, and indicated that he would oppose [[same-sex marriage in the United States|same-sex marriage]] as well as abortion except when the mother's life was at stake. True to the district's heritage, he identified Reagan as his political hero.<ref>Barone, et al. (2005), pp. 567-568.</ref>
