In an Aug. 30 Facebook post, Rep. David Friess (R-Red Bud) shared his experiences at the DuQuoin State Fair.
“Another nice day at the DuQuoin State Fair on Republican Day. It was nice to visit with State Rep Charlie Meier (R-Highland) and (Rep.) Tom Demmer (R-Dixon), candidate for Treasurer. I also ran into some Monroe County folks - Ed McLean and Neal Rohlfing. Unfortunately, I couldn’t stay for the BBQ," Friess posted.
Friess spent some time on Aug. 29 admiring chainsaw carvings at the fair. "If you make it to the DuQuoin State Fair check out the chainsaw carvings. Amazing work."
Friess ran unopposed in the June primary, and will be running unopposed in the November general election.
Friess is running to represent the newly drawn 115th District. In a Facebook post, he wrote: ""It is hard to complain about the boundaries of my new district since they drew 17th Street BBQ into my district," the post read. "Miki and I were in Murphysboro yesterday and had to stop in for some pulled pork. I am looking forward to representing the new 115th District."
He's also spoken out against the newest executive order issued by Gov. J.B. Pritzker, related to monkeypox. Pritzker issued the declaration on Aug. 1. "After countless emergency declarations related to COVID, the tyrant could not help himself," Friess said in a Facebook post.
