State Rep. Jeanne Ives (R-Wheaton) hosted a two-hour meet-and-greet in Mattoon on Wednesday during a campaign swing through Coles County.
In a press release, Ives, who is taking on Gov. Bruce Rauner in the 2018 Republican primary, billed the gathering at Pagliacci’s Restaurant as a chance for anyone who “has questions pertaining to your local government or state government to attend and get answers to any questions you have.”
