State Representative Adam Niemerg is running as a write-in candidate in the Republican Party Primary. The Primary Election is March 19th.

Niemerg (R-Dieterich) says taking a stand for conservative principles comes with a price and today that price is his Democrat opponents using a clerical mistake on the filing of his petitions to exclude him from the primary ballot.

“We filed well more than double the number of signatures but a technicality on some of the paperwork was challenged which means I now have to run as a write-in candidate,” Niemerg said. “The same far-left organizations behind the ballot objection may also fund a write-in candidate. Voters in the 102nd District need to understand I am being targeted because of my principled stand for conservative values. These are Springfield Democrats playing dirty politics in south east Illinois. If the citizens of this District want to continue to have conservative representation in Springfield, they need to be aware of this attack. I ask that they support me and write my name in.”

Niemerg said potential write-in opponents will not have the support of the local  Republican Party as he has secured the endorsement of all Republican County Chairman in the 102nd District and the support of numerous other local officials. Niemerg has 96 endorsements and counting.

Specifically, he has been endorsed by:

 “The Republican leaders in the 102nd District are standing with me because they know what is at stake in this election,” Niemerg said. “The people of this district want someone representing them who shares their values. There is no question running a write-in campaign is difficult, but with the support of my local Republican leaders as well as the tremendous support of grassroots activists throughout the District, I am confident of a victory on March 19th.”
