The third Illinois Republican House member to announce his retirement this year.
Weller's district is very competitive and was held by a Democrat, George Sangmeister, for for six years before he won in 1994.
Bush won 53% in the district, but Obama won it in a landslide and last year, Governor Rod Blagojevich won the district narrowly despite loosing it four years earlier.
Weller won reelection last year by only 10%. The district is expected to be really competitive and Democrats would have a strong candidate in Illinois Senate Majority Leader Debbie Halvorson.
