The Knowlegis Power Rankings rate the effectiveness of each member of Congress based on various criteria including position, indirect influence, legislative activity, and earmarks. Rep. Hare ranked just 404th, despite being from the majority party.
In a stark contrast, Bobby Schilling actually ranked 315th out of 13,500 agents in his last full year at Prudential Insurance Company.
Bobby Frederick, communications director for the Bobby Schilling campaign, said that Illinois families deserve an effective Congressman.
“As a union steward, insurance agent, and now a successful small business owner, Bobby Schilling has a proven track record as an effective worker with an indefatigable work ethic,” Frederick said. “With unemployment near 10% and Illinois ranked 48th out of 50 in job creation, we need new leaders who can create an environment to foster job growth. If people want a change in Washington, there is no better candidate prepared to roll up his sleeves and work for Illinois families than Bobby Schilling.”
Bobby Schilling, a native of Rock Island, graduated from Alleman High School and attended Black Hawk College.

Earlier this year, Schilling conducted a 34-city “Bob’s for Jobs” tour, where he met with voters and employers all across the 17th District. Schilling was recently named an official ‘Young Gun’ by the National Republican Congressional Committee in their Young Guns program of top tiered races.
