Roger L. Eddy is a Republican member of the Illinois House of Representatives, representing the 109th district where he has served since 2003.

Eddy, a lifelong educator, is a graduate of Northern Illinois University. He has been a teacher, coach, school principal and superintendent. His most recent educational position is as superintendent of Hutsonville Unit 1 school district in Crawford County. He and his wife, Becca, also a teacher, reside near Hutsonville and are the parents of five children.

The boundaries of the current 109th District were set by redistricting in 2001. The district includes all or parts of Edgar, Clark, Crawford, Lawrence, Wabash, Cumberland, Effingham and Shelby counties. Shortly after the new district boundaries were announced, Roger Eddy announced that he would run in the Republican primary in March, 2002. After winning the primary in March, Eddy went on to defeat Democratic nominee James Lane in November, 2002, carrying all eight counties in the district. He was re-elected by large margins in 2004 and 2006.

As a representative, Eddy has focused on agriculture and education issues, and has generally supported pro-business legislation. Some of his major legislative successes have included passage of legislation to combat methamphetamine, the prevalence of which is a dangerous problem in the rural midwest, including the 109th district.
