Robert Todd Schilling (born January 23rd 1964) is an American politician who was the U.S. Representative for Illinois’s 17th congressional district from the year 2011 to 2013. Schilling is an active participant in the Republican Party. Schilling was a challenger to the incumbent Democrat Phil Hare in the 2010 election, and beat Hare by 10 points. In 2012 Schilling lost to Democrat Cheri Bustos. The following year, the candidate was a candidate for the seat he held previously and lost to Bustos.

Schilling announced that he will run as an Republican for the 2nd District after incumbent Congressman Dave Loebsack, a Democrat who has been serving this district from 2007 to present, announced that he will retire. He will be competing against Mariannette Meeks, State senator and the Republican nominee in 2008 2010and 2014 to win the Republican nomination in the next election.

Schilling’s campaign fundraising relied largely on individual donors, who accounted for about 80 percent of the $1 million raised by his campaign. Hare depended more heavily on political action committees, who contributed about two-thirds of his campaigns $1.3 million total. Following his election, Schilling has relied more on political action committees to help retire his campaign debt, with the bulk of his December 2010 fundraising coming from PACs, including Wal-Mart, the American Medical Association, Caterpillar Inc. and Archer Daniels Midland Co.
