Gerald J. ("Jerry") Schweighart (born 1938), is the former Mayor of Champaign, Illinois, as well as the city's Liquor Commissioner.〔(City of Champaign Elected Officials - Champaign County Clerk, IL - Gordy Hulten )〕 He had held both positions since 1999. Schweighart served for six years on the Champaign City Council before becoming Mayor.〔(Political newcomer joins race for Champaign mayor | News-Gazette.com )〕
Prior to his election to public office, Schweighart served as an officer with the Champaign Police Department. He joined the force in 1960, rising to the rank of detective. He also served as President of the Champaign Police Department Benevolent Association. In that capacity, he spearheaded efforts to raise funds to permit speed skater Bonnie Blair, a Champaign native, participate in the Winter Olympics between 1984 and 1994.〔(The Milwaukee Journal - Google News Archive Search )〕〔http://www.onlinesports.com/sportstrust/creative37.html〕
In 2010 at a Tea Party event, Schweighart expressed doubt that President Obama is a U.S. citizen, something which would make Obama ineligible to hold his office. Schweighart's statement led to a call for his resignation from Champaign County board member Al Kurtz.〔(Mayor defends YouTube comments; county board member calls for resignation | News-Gazette.com )〕 Schweighart was defeated in a re-election bid on April 5, 2011, by Don Gerard.
