| Description | Does U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock have his eye on the Illinois governor’s mansion?
A report Tuesday on the Crain’s Chicago Business website references several sources within the GOP — all unnamed — who have said the Peoria Republican may be interested in the post and has been considering it as an option for the 2014 election.
While granting that “Congressman Schock hears news about himself having plans to run for U.S. Senate or governor frequently, which never ceases to amaze him because the scenarios are always news to him,” Chief of Staff Steven Shearer said Tuesday afternoon that Schock “has not organized any effort beyond representing the people of the 18th District.”
For the time being, and “while never taking any option off the table, his focus remains rising in House leadership,” Shearer said, though he acknowledged that when others bring up the issue of running for higher office with his boss, Schock will both listen and solicit their input on the subject. |
