Decatur Mayor Mike McElroy, the Republican candidate, and Andy Manar, who at the time was the Chairman of the Macoupin County Board, spent more than $2.5 million and saturated the airwaves with commercials. Without an incumbent on the ballot, this newly drawn Senate district was a priority for both political parties. | | | | Date Created: | 09-12-2014 | | | | Agency ID: | Paper # 38 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000054677 Original UID: 176088 FIRST WORD: Partisanship, | |
