Gubernatorial candidate Gary Rabine and lieutenant governor candidate Aaron Del Mar are hosting a meet and greet for voters on April 14.
"Please join us this Thursday (April 14th) for a Meet & Greet with Gubernatorial candidate Gary Rabine and his Lieutenant Governor, Aaron Del Mar! Come out and learn how the Rabine Campaign plans to reform & rebuild Illinois!" the Rabine campaign said in a text promoting the event, which is also posted on Facebook.

"My experience as a business builder and raising my family in Illinois has prepared me to take on the challenges we face," Rabine stated on his website. "I'm the true outsider who can bring real reform to Springfield and bring back the Illinois American Dream. I hope you'll join me!"
