Aaron Schock is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on May 28, 1981 in Morris, Morris, United States. On July 2, 2003, his fellow board members elected him vice president of the board, on a vote of 4–3. On July 2, 2004, his fellow board members unanimously elected him school board president, making him, at 23, the youngest school board president in Illinois history.

At the age of 23, Schock ran for a seat in the Illinois House of Representatives. In the November 2004 general election, he defeated four-term incumbent Democrat Ricca Slone, by just 235 votes out of 40,000 ballots cast, and became the youngest member of the Illinois General Assembly in state history. Five months after taking the office, he resigned from the school board to focus on his job as a state legislator.

When Schock ran for reelection in 2006, he defeated Democrat Bill Spears, winning 58 percent of the total vote. He received more than 40 percent of the African-American vote in his district, despite his opposition to race-based affirmative action. During his four years in the state legislature, Schock served on two appropriations committees that were “typically reserved for more senior lawmakers”, as well as the Financial Institutions, Environment & Energy and Veteran’s Affairs committees.

Schock received his Bachelor of Science degree from Bradley University in 2002, with a major in finance. Schock sold his Garage Tek franchise in 2004 before running for state representative.

Schock attended Richwoods High School. By his junior year of high school, he had completed nearly all of his graduation requirements, and had few course options available because the school district had recently discontinued most of the Advanced Placement and other advanced courses due to budget cuts. School district policy did not allow him to graduate early, and the board members refused his requests to change the policy. He began attending classes at Illinois Central College in East Peoria, earning dual credits toward high school and college graduation. He graduated from high school in 2000.

Since 2004, media outlets have questioned Schock’s sexual orientation in relation to his socially conservative voting record. In an interview with Details in 2009, Schock said that he was not gay.
