Rich Brauer is a Republican member of the Illinois House of Representatives, representing the 100th district since 2003. A native of Petersburg, IL, Brauer upset incumbent Gwen Klingler in the 2002 Republican primary, after re-districting resulted in rural areas outside of Springfield being in his district. The Democrats had not even run a candidate in the primary, for this office, expecting Klingler to win, but they placed a prominent former Republican elected official, Carl Oblinger (son of famous former State Representative Josephine Oblinger) as their nominee for the general election. Brauer prevailed, with over 60% of the vote, and has not had a Democrat opponent since.
