We hear more today from Blaine Wilhour, as the Fayette County resident announced earlier this week he is running as a Republican candidate for the 107th District State Representative seat. Wilhour says he realizes this is a very big district, but he says he believes he has a solid base of support and will work to get out the word in all corners of the district.
As of this time, there are two candidates—Wilhour and Effingham businessman Brian Milleville—who will face one another in the Republican primary in March. The seat is open after State Representative John Cavaletto announced he would not seek another term.
