Correct answer: Illinois state legislator, member of House of Representatives, US president

Detail:

Abraham Lincoln first served as a state legislator, a member of the Illinois House of Representatives, from 1834-1842.

Later, he served as a member of the US House of Representatives, representing Illinois' 7th Congressional District. He served in the US House from 1847 to 1849.

In 1860, Abraham Lincoln successfully ran for President as the candidate of the recently-formed Republican Party. He served as President from March 4, 1861 until his death (by assassination) on April 15, 1865.
