Darlene Senger was a member of the Naperville, Illinois City Council, where she served from 2002, and is the Republican Representative for Illinois' 96th district since January 2009, succeeding retiring State Representative Joe Dunn.

As a former Naperville City Councilman, Darlene brings a whole host of experience and expertise to the General Assembly. Some of her accomplishments include the successful completion of two key economic development plans in Naperville, one along the Ogden Avenue corridor and the other along the vital I-88 corridor. Both plans brought about, and continue to maintain, service improvements and a blend of commercial development that includes a variety of retail businesses in the restaurant, health, child care and entertainment industries that are important to a strong local economy.^{[citation needed]}

In addition, Darlene’s leadership role regarding the EJ&E railroad plans has led to her appointment as a steering committee member of TRAC (Regional Answer to Canadian National), a group that is working on a solution to ensure that transportation plans for the railway line along the Naperville/Aurora border be honored for the well-being of residents in that region.^{[citation needed]}

Darlene helped spearhead a coordinated planning effort in the southwest sector of the district by helping bring several key entities to the bargaining table. Her efforts ensured that school, park, forest preserve, municipal, and especially homeowner, interests were balanced and fair.^{[citation needed]} Also, her hands-on approach to become an integral part of a homeland security exercise with all of the major jurisdictions in Naperville, served as a springboard to many public safety improvements for the city.^{[citation needed]}

Darlene is a licensed Financial Advisory and Investment Advisor, and has been a resident of Naperville for 13 years. She earned an MBA in Finance from DePaul University and bachelor’s degree in Finance from Purdue University.^{[citation needed]}
