Looks like Illinois got more than our fair share when it comes to 'beauties' in Washington DC. In their annual "50 Most Beautiful People of 2014", Illinois was represented twice. What??? Does The Hill consider Congressman Aaron Schock an 'old face' at this point?!? (We suppose that his abs would dominate this list every year, so taking him out of the running is the fair thing to do!)
First, Mazon Illinois native Benjamin Paulsen who works for Congresswoman Tammy Duckworth. (psst...he's done '20 or 30 runway shows'?!?!)
And our other representative, Celeste Wallander from Chicago who is the senior director for Russia and Eurasia on the National Security Council has "clocked three ultra-marathons, 36 marathons and more half-marathons than she can count."
