Shane Cultra is an American politician and former Republican member of the Illinois General Assembly .
Early life and career [ edit ]
Cultra was born in Onarga, Illinois . He graduated from Michigan State University with an agricultural technology degree in landscape & nursery management. He served on the Iroquois County Board for fourteen years including two years as chairman of the board. Cultra, and his wife Virginia, have four children.[2]
Illinois General Assembly [ edit ]
In 2002, he was elected to the Illinois House of Representatives from the 105th district.[2] The 105th district, as drawn at the time, included parts of Champaign , Ford , Iroquois Livingston , and McLean counties in east-central Illinois.[3]
Cultra was selected by local party leaders in late 2010 to replace Dan Rutherford , who had been elected Illinois Treasurer .[4]
Cultra resigned from the Illinois House effective midnight January 9, 2011 and was succeeded by his longtime legislative aide Russell Geisler for a single day. On January 10, 2011, Jason Barickman , the Chair of the Champaign County Republicans, was appointed to succeed Geisler for the remainder of the 96th General Assembly and to serve during the 97th General Assembly .[5] [6]
During the 2011 decennial redistricting, the 53rd district was redrawn to include portions of Bloomington and Normal while losing Tazewell County.[7] [8] In the 2012 Republican primary, Barickman opted to run for the Illinois Senate against Shane Cultra. Barickman defeated Cultra with 19,713 votes to Cultra's 11,861 votes.[9]
Post-legislative career [ edit ]
In 2016, Lyle Behrends of Ashkum succeeded Cultra as Chair of the Iroquois County Republican Party.[10] That same year, Mike Tilstra, the Mayor of Onarga, chose to step down as Mayor. Cultra ran unopposed in the 2017 election.[11] In the 2021 election, Cultra defeated Sarah Barnett 99 votes to 89 votes (52.66% to 47.34%).[12]
On March 7, 2022, Cultra filed with the Illinois Board of Elections to run for the United States House of Representatives from Illinois's 2nd congressional district in the 2022 Republican primary .[13] He finished second of three candidates in the June 28th primary, losing to former Iroquois County Board member Thomas Lynch.[14]
