Illinois is America's 21st state, having joined the union in December 1818. Its first chief executive and elected governor was a man named Shadrach Bond. Bond was a member of what was then the Independent Party. So far, Illinois is only one of seven states to have elected independent candidates to the governor's mansion. The others have been Alaska, Maine, Minnesota, Oregon, Rhode Island and Texas. Bruce Rauner, elected to the office of governor more recently, is one of several conservative candidates Illinois 2014.
Patrick Joseph (Pat) Quinn was the 31st governor of Illinois, serving for six years between 2009 and 2015. He assumed office after the previous governor, Rod Blagojevich, was impeached on corruption charges.
Prior to becoming governor of the state, Bond served as a representative in Congress for what was then called the Territory of Illinois. In the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars, Americans desired unity and had a sense of national purpose. The Federalist Party imploded on itself; with it went the constant conflict between itself and the Democrat-Republican party. Not all historians agree that this was a period of good feelings.
Joe Walsh was a Congressman for the Eighth District between 2011 and 2013. In the middle of his term, the district was redrawn and he failed to hold onto his office when he ran for Congress in the new 14th district. At one time, he regarded himself a moderate Republican.

By far the most famous conservative politician was 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, a member of the Whig Party. The Whig Party was formed to oppose President Andrew Jackson and his Democratic policies. He is best known for leading the country through the Civil War, freeing the slaves, preserving the union, modernizing the economy, and strengthening the federal government. Lincoln's term as president was cut short by his assassination in 1865 at the hand of John Wilkes Booth, six days after the surrender of General Robert E. Lee.
