4. A little on Schock
Political positions
Schock is considered to be more conservative than his two moderate<21> predecessors, Congressmen Bob Michel and Ray LaHood.<22><23> The Chicago Tribune has described Schock's political positions to be fiscally conservative and somewhat moderate on social issues.<24>

On April 29, 2009, Schock voted against amending federal hate crimes laws to include crimes where the victims were targeted on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity, gender, and disability.<25>

In August 2009, the Law Library of Congress issued a controversial and disputed<26> legal opinion report titled Honduras: Constitutional Law Issues that had been commissioned by Schock. It featured a legal analysis of the 2009 Honduran constitutional crisis with a specific examination of the legality of President Manuel Zelaya's 28 June 2009 removal from office and expatriation.<27> After the report was issued, Schock argued that the Obama Administration should change its policy towards Honduras by resuming suspended aid and recognizing the upcoming November 29 elections, based on the contents of the report.<28>

Media treatment
Schock has received an unusual amount of coverage for a freshman congressman.<19> This treatment is based in part on his youth and physical attractiveness, and in part on his work ethic.<19> An example of the former is a February 4, 2009 reader poll on the The Huffington Post, in which Schock was selected "hottest freshman" congressperson.<29> Schock has been frequently targeted by TMZ reporters since his arrival in Washington<30><31>; he has also appeared on The Colbert Report, where Stephen Colbert, making fun of the TMZ reports, "grilled" Schock about his "six-pack abs."<32>
