Republican incumbent Keith Wheeler of Oswego says his constituents couldn’t be more direct about what they want Springfield to do: ‘Lower property taxes. Or I’m leaving.’ Wheeler is endorsed.

State Rep. Keith Wheeler has proven to be an able legislator since joining the General Assembly in 2015 and deserves another term in office.

Keith Wheeler of Oswego is running for his fourth term in the Illinois House in the 50th District. We endorse him in this election as we have in the past.

Wheeler, who ascended to Assistant House Republican Leader last year, is impressive on all counts.

He’s not just a thoughtful, business-oriented conservative. He’s also a hardworking collaborator and a decent guy in a political environment that too often is cutthroat.
