Republican Mary Miller brought her campaign for the 15th District Illinois congressional seat to Danville Monday (January 27, 2020). During a stop at a local restaurant Miller explained why she is running….
{‘’I have seven children and sixteen grandchildren, and I’m highly concerned about the direction of our country,’’ said Miller during an interview with VermilionCountyFirst.com News. ‘’I think that we’re watching an attempted coup on our nation, and I want my children and grandchildren to recognize the country that I grew up in, and also to have access to the same opportunities that they have – that I have had,’’ said Miller.}
Miller added she supports President Donald Trump’s America First agenda….
{‘’I believe that the 15th District needs an infusion in the economic sector. We need jobs. We need an advocate for agriculture, and I’ve been involved in small business – in agriculture – trying to raise a family – pay our bills,’’ added Miller.}
Miller is seeking the seat which is currently held by Congressman John Shimkus. He announced earlier that he would not be seeking another term.
