Representatives
Donald Rumsfeld, most notable for being the 13th and 21st U.S. Secretary of Defense, represented the district from January 3, 1963 – March 20, 1969, although the former 13th district was a north suburban district and encompassed much of the current 8th and 10th Congressional districts.
