Henry County - 17th congressional district candidate, Bobby Schilling (R), gets a big endorsement less than a month from the general election.
Speaker of the House John Boehner (R) will make the announcement tonight at a fundraiser for Schilling.
Schilling's opponent, Cheri Bustos (D), isn't short on name recognition either.
In January, U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin (D), pledged his support for Bustos. In recent polls, the two are neck and neck for the seat.
