In 2007, Peoria businessman Samuel Hoerr obtained permits to build a home on a Schock-owned lot in a golf course development called Augusta Estates. Schock and Hoerr — himself a campaign contributor — have been both listed as owners in varying local real estate records. Sam Hoerr did not respond to messages left at his business and cellphone. Members of the Hoerr family — a prominent Peoria family with interests in real estate and construction — have donated nearly $80,000 to Schock's campaign and supporting political committees since 2007. Schock's sister and campaign manager, Tania Hoerr, married into the family.
