Gwen Klingler

Gwen Klingler is a former Republican member of the Illinois House of Representatives,[1] representing the 100th district from 1995 until 2003. After re-districting occurred, Klingler's district included increased rural communities, outside of Springfield, while the other state representative in her legislative district, Raymond Poe, was given more of the city. Klingler was upset in the Republican primary by the more-conservative Rich Brauer.

Before becoming a prominent member of the Illinois House, Klingler served as an alderman on the Springfield City Council. After leaving the House, Klingler ran for Springfield City Treasurer in 2003, but was defeated. In 2008, she was a candidate for Delegate to the Republican National Convention, committed to presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani, in Illinois' 19th congressional district.
