Richard P. Myers

Richard P. "Rich" Myers (December 27, 1947 – December 1, 2010^[2]) was a Republican member of the Illinois House of Representatives, having represented the 94th district from 1995 until his death in 2010.

Representative Myers was a conservative Republican, who valued the importance of fiscal responsibility. Much of his time was spent doing constituent work when the Illinois House was not in session.

During the 2008 Republican Party presidential primaries, Myers worked on behalf of the presidential campaign of former U.S. Senator Fred Thompson serving as a congressional district chair for Illinois's 17th congressional district.^[3]

Representative Myers had expected to survive in acceptable health long enough to serve another term despite his struggle with ill health, but he died December 1, 2010, after a long battle with prostate cancer. He was lauded on his death for his contributions to the district, to its schools, and to Western Illinois University.^[4] He was succeeded by longtime aide Norine Hammond to fill the remainder of his term until the next election.
