I lived in central Illinois for 30 years. The area was very conservative, but sadly the state is controlled by Chicago liberals. We moved to Missouri a few years ago, and we’re doing our part to keep Missouri solid red.
I’m in Northern Illinois. I have one daughter living and working in the Chicago area, and the other daughter moved to Kansas to be with her fiancé. I would love to move to Kansas, or just about ANY red state. Illinois is a lost cause, because of the Chicago and Springfield liberals. Not to mention the RINOs….
