Downstate Democrat Bob Daiber Wants To Be Your Governor
By Daniel TuckerDownstate Democrat Bob Daiber Wants To Be Your Governor
By Daniel TuckerMorning Shift is sticking to its New Years resolution to help educate Illinois voters on ballot issues and candidates. Today, host Tony Sarabia sits down with Democratic candidate for Governor Bob Daiber.
Daiber hails from Madison County in downstate Illinois. As a school superintendent there, he oversees school districts that serve roughly 48,000 students. He spent more than two decades in the classroom, has worked as a village trustee and as a township supervisor.
Daiber also made three failed attempts to represent his district in Springfield, a feat he said was too difficult to pull off because the Republican incumbent had strong GOP support. Nevertheless, in a race that includes two billionaires and a multimillionaire, Daiber believes his status as a regular, hardworking guy makes him uniquely suited to carry downstate Illinois and the state as a whole.
Morning Shift’s listeners and host Tony Sarabia talk to the gubernatorial candidate about why he wants to be governor and where he stands on the issues.
