Vermilion County Treasurer Darren Duncan has received the endorsement of two of the top congressional agriculture committee members in his bid for the 15th district seat being vacated by John Shimkus.
Current House Agriculture Committee ranking member Mike Conaway and Congressman Rick Crawford announced their endorsements on Tuesday. Crawford was part of both the 2008 and 2018 farm bills, serving on conference committees.
Meanwhile, Oakland educator Mary Miller has been endorsed by the Illinois Farm Bureau. Miller met with the organization Monday and came away as the top choice among the farming group.
The primary election will be held March 17.
