Illinois State Rep. C.D. Davidsmeyer (R-Murrayville) is looking for new pictures to decorate his office and is asking his constituents to send along pictures of things across the 100th district they think would make good decor. 

Davidsmeyer shared information about his latest photo contest in a June 6 Facebook post. 

"I’m holding another photo contest to update the pictures on my wall in Springfield," he wrote in the post. "Please think about something cool or fun to photograph that would look good in my office!!"
