Darin LaHood 1Congressman Darin LaHood, born and raised in Peoria, serves the constituents of the 18th District of Illinois. Sworn into the US House of Representatives on September 17, 2015, LaHood quickly transitioned into office after his special election win on September 10. He won re-election to serve his third full-term in Congress on November 3, 2020, defeating his opponent with 70-percent of the vote.

The 18th District spans 19 counties across central and west-central Illinois, ranging from McLean County (Bloomington-Normal) to Adams County (Quincy). LaHood serves close to 710,000 constituents.

Prior to his election to Congress, LaHood served four years in the Illinois State Senate, beginning in 2011. LaHood spent more than nine years as a State and Federal Prosecutor. From 2001-2006, he worked for the U.S. Department of Justice as an Assistant United States Attorney in Las Vegas, Nevada. LaHood has also served as an Assistant State’s Attorney in Cook County and Tazewell County. From 2006 up until his election to the House of Representatives, he practiced with the Peoria law firm of Miller, Hall & Triggs.

LaHood’s record throughout his public service has resonated a strong, conservative record, promoting economic development and fiscal responsibility. LaHood has been an outspoken advocate for creating a better business climate in Illinois to boost the state and national economy, to create jobs for Illinoisans.

LaHood currently serves on the House Ways and Means Committee after being selected by his colleagues in January of 2018. The Ways and Means Committee is the House’s oldest committee and has jurisdiction over all taxation, trade and tariffs, and other revenue-raising measures. He serves on the Ways and Means Subcommittees on Tax Policy and Oversight.

In March of 2021, LaHood was appointed by House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy to serve on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. The committee oversees the nation’s intelligence agencies including components of the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, Justice, State, Treasury and Energy. LaHood serves on the Counterterrorism, Counterintelligence, and Counterproliferation (C3) and the Intelligence Modernization and Readiness (INMAR) Subcommittees.

LaHood also serves on the House Democracy Partnership. He currently co-chairs the US-China working group, the U.S.-Brazil Caucus, the Digital Trade Caucus, the U.S.-Lebanon Friendship Caucus, the Congressional Bus Caucus, and the Congressional Soccer Caucus.

Recognizing the need for reform, LaHood has fought to increase transparency and promote ethical behavior. He looks to build a strong, pro-growth economy, while fighting to reduce a record deficit that threatens the future of our children and grandchildren.

LaHood, a third generation Peorian, graduated from Spalding High School. He earned a B.A. from Loras College and holds a J.D. from The John Marshall Law School. In 2013, he was selected as an Edgar Fellow, a program run by former Governor Jim Edgar, which highlights future Illinois leaders. In 2008, LaHood was recognized in Peoria as a 40 Leaders Under Forty award winner. An avid runner, he has completed five marathons.

Committees

House Committee on Ways & Means

The Committee on Ways and Means is the oldest, and most powerful, committee of the United States Congress, and is the chief tax-writing committee in the House of Representatives. The Committee derives a large share of its jurisdiction from Article I, Section VII of the U.S. Constitution which declares, “All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives.”

Since 1865, the committee has continued to exercise jurisdiction over revenue and related issues such as tariffs, reciprocal trade agreements, and the bonded debt of the United States. Revenue-related aspects of the Social Security system, Medicare, and social services programs have come within Ways and Means’ purview in the 20th century.

The 16th congressional district of Illinois is represented by Republican Darin LaHood. Prominent past representatives from the 16th district have included Everett Dirksen, who went on to become the Republican leader in the United States Senate; John B. Anderson, who became the 3rd highest ranking Republican in the House and went on to run as a major independent candidate in the 1980 Presidential election; and Lynn Martin, who later served as United States Secretary of Labor.

For more than six decades, the shape of the 16th district fluctuated far less than that of any other Illinois congressional district. In this time, it generally included the northwest corner of the state, extending just far enough to the east to grab its largest city, Rockford.[3] By the 1990s, it also extended eastward to include part of McHenry County, an outer suburb of Chicago. This geographic stability also contributed to electoral stability. It first became a Rockford-based district for the 1948 election, and from then until 2012 it was represented by just five people, all but one of whom was a Republican. The sole Democrat to have held it in that period, John W. Cox, Jr., only did so for one term.

However, with the new map drawn for 2012, the 16th was significantly redrawn. It was pushed well to the east to include the southwestern exurbs of the Chicago metropolitan area, and stretches from the Wisconsin border to the Indiana border. While it still included most of Rockford’s suburbs, half of Rockford itself—essentially the more Democratic western portion of the city—was shifted to the 17th district.

Darin McKay LaHood (/ləˈhʊd/ lə-HOOD; born July 5, 1968)[1] is an American attorney and politician who has served as a U.S. representative from Illinois since 2015. A member of the Republican Party, LaHood has represented the 16th district since 2023, and previously represented the 18th district from 2015 to 2023. He previously served in the Illinois Senate from the 37th legislative district from 2011 to 2015, before being elected to Congress in a special election following the resignation of Aaron Schock.[2]

During the 2022 redistricting process, the 18th congressional district was eliminated as Illinois lost a seat in the apportionment process. After new district boundaries were adopted, LaHood opted to run in the 16th congressional district.[3]

Early life

A native of Peoria, Illinois, LaHood is the son of Kathy (Dunk) and Ray LaHood,[4][5] the 16th United States Secretary of Transportation and before that a seven-term U.S. representative for the district his son now represents.[6] His father is of Lebanese and German descent.

The younger LaHood is the eldest of four siblings, and went to the Academy of Our Lady/Spalding Institute.[7] He graduated from Loras College in Iowa and received his Juris Doctor from John Marshall Law School.[7]

Legal career

LaHood was a prosecutor in the Tazewell County state’s attorney‘s office and the United States Attorney‘s Office for the District of Nevada in Las Vegas.[8] On returning to Peoria in 2005, he took up private law practice; as of 2011 he is in the Peoria law firm of Miller, Hall & Triggs.[9]

Early political career

LaHood ran for Peoria County state’s attorney in 2008, losing to incumbent Kevin Lyons, 43,208 votes to 36,449. He was also involved[clarification needed] in several other Republican campaigns, including Bill Brady‘s 2010 campaign for governor and Dan Rutherford‘s campaign for Illinois Treasurer.[9]

LaHood was appointed to the Illinois Senate on February 27, 2011, at age 42.[9] He took office on March 1, the day after Dale Risinger retired.[10] When appointed, LaHood announced he would run for election to a full term in 2012, which he won, running unopposed.[9][11]

U.S. House of Representatives

Elections

2015 special

On July 7, 2015, LaHood defeated Mike Flynn 69%–28%, in the Republican primary for Illinois’s 18th congressional district, replacing Aaron Schock. He defeated Democratic nominee Rob Mellon in the September 10 special general election[12] by a large margin.[13] He was sworn in by House Speaker John Boehner on September 17, 2015.[14]

2016

In the November 8, 2016, general election, LaHood defeated Democratic nominee Junius Rodriguez, 250,506 votes (72.1%) to 96,770 (27.9%).[15]

2018

In the November 6, 2018, general election, LaHood defeated Rodriguez again, 195,927 votes (67.2%) to 95,486 (32.8%).

2020

In the November 3, 2020, general election, LaHood defeated Democratic nominee George Petrilli, 261,840 votes (70.41%) to 110,039 (29.59%).

Tenure

LaHood has called himself a fiscal conservative focused on budget issues.[9]

LaHood serves on the House Ways and Means Committee and the Committee on the Chinese Communist Party.[16]

On May 25, 2016, LaHood introduced legislation through the Science, Space, and Technology Committee that approved the Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD) Modernization Act of 2016. The NITRD Program was originally authorized by the High Performance Computing Act of 1991. NITRD is the federal government’s primary research portfolio on transformative high-end computing, high-speed networking, high capacity systems software, cybersecurity, and related advanced information technologies.[17]

LaHood drew criticism from constituents for declining to hold an open town hall during the February 2017 recess.[18] Constituents from across the 18th congressional district gathered in Bloomington Normal and Jacksonville to request a town hall to discuss a variety of issues, including access to health care, immigration laws, and freedom of the press.[19][20][21] LaHood spoke to the demonstrators outside the Farm Bureau building in Peoria who had come to push for a town hall, saying: “We live in a democracy. People may not always agree with me and that’s why I have to go before voters like I did in November. I was fortunate to receive 72 percent of the vote in that election. But this is part of the process.”[22]

LaHood is a member of the Republican Main Street Partnership[23] and the Republican Study Committee.[24]

Legislation

LaHood voted for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.[25] In a letter to the editor in the State Journal Register, he stated that the bill would help his constituents save money and make businesses more competitive globally, including State Farm Insurance, John Deere, and other local businesses.[26]

During the 116th Congress (2019-2020), LaHood cosponsored the Great American Outdoors Act H.R.1957,[27] establishing the National Parks and Public Land Legacy Restoration Fund for priority deferred maintenance projects on federal lands managed by the National Park Service, the Forest Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Bureau of Land Management, and the Bureau of Indian Education. In FY2021-FY2025, the fund will accrue up to $1.9 billion per year from revenues on federal lands and waters received from oil, gas, coal, or alternative or renewable energy development.

Committee assignments

For the 118th Congress:[28]

Political positions

Environment

LaHood believes that humans “play a role” regarding climate change and that there is “no doubt about that.” Despite this, he has a 0% lifetime rating from the League of Conservation Voters, indicating consistent votes against environmental causes.

Health care

LaHood opposes “able-bodied working men” from accessing Medicaid. He supports full repeal of the Affordable Care Act. Of single-payer healthcare, LaHood has said he would consider a bill if it was “fiscally sound” and benefited his constituents.[29]

Net neutrality

LaHood opposes net neutrality and believes that revoking it has “zero effect” on privacy or data collection.[29]

Economic issues

LaHood supports tax reform, specifically of corporate loopholes. In April 2017, he said he would not vote for a tax cut bill unless it was “revenue neutral” so it would not add to the deficit.[29] In December, LaHood voted for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which, according to the Congressional Budget Office, will add $1.414 trillion to the national debt.[25][30]

LaHood was among the 71 Republicans who voted against final passage of the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 in the House.[31]

Immigration

LaHood supports immigration reform, including shortening the time that it takes for people to legally enter the United States. He is “100 percent supportive” of increasing the number of people allowed to immigrate to the U.S.[29]

Cannabis

LaHood has an “F” rating from NORML for his voting history regarding cannabis-related causes.[32] He opposes the legalization of marijuana, even for medicinal purposes. LaHood opposes veterans having access to medical marijuana if recommended by their Veterans Health Administration doctor and if it is legal for medicinal purposes in their state of residence. He believes the legalization of medical marijuana increases its illegal use and abuse by teenagers and that it is addictive.[33]

Donald Trump

In 2017, LaHood said that President Donald Trump should release his tax returns and would vote in favor of requiring such disclosure if a bill mandating it was presented to the House. Of Trump’s visits to Mar-a-Lago, LaHood said that “more business should be conducted in the White House than in Florida.”[29] He supported the Special Counsel investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.[29]

In December 2020, LaHood was one of 126 Republican members of the House of Representatives to sign an amicus brief in support of Texas v. Pennsylvania, a lawsuit filed at the United States Supreme Court contesting the results of the 2020 presidential election, in which Joe Biden defeated Trump.[34] The Supreme Court declined to hear the case on the basis that Texas lacked standing under Article III of the Constitution to challenge the results of an election held by another state.[35][36][37]

On January 6, 2021, a mob of Trump supporters entered the U.S. Capitol Building while Congress was debating the Electoral College certification. LaHood and his staff were among those kept under police lockdown for over four hours. That evening, LaHood voted to certify Biden as the 46th President-elect.[38]
