The question can be a little broad, but:

Lincoln was from Illinois when elected having earlier served as a US Representative from that state.

Reagan was born in Illinois and lived there until he graduated from college.

Obama was a US senator from Illinois when elected.

Also, although born in Ohio, the home state of Ulysses S. Grant was Illinois when he ran for President.
