Bustos win just how it was drawn up?
Schilling camp blames loss on remapped 17th
STERLING – The day after U.S. Rep. Bobby Schilling lost his 17th District seat, his son and campaign manager Terry Schilling attributed the defeat to one factor – redistricting.
The Colona Republican lost Tuesday to former East Moline Alderwoman Cheri Bustos, a Democrat.
The 17th was redrawn by a Democratic Legislature and favored Democrats. Bustos took 53 percent of the vote, Schilling 47 percent.
