Madison County School Superintendent Bob Daiber says it's been a rigorous campaign thus far, as he mounts a bid for the Illinois Governor's office. Daiber and his family were at the Madison County Clerk's office in Edwardsville on Monday to participate in early voting. Daiber will spend the rest of his time campaigning in what figures to be his base of Southern Illinois, but says voters statewide seem to be listening to his message, as he's getting “good feedback.”

Daiber was a public school teacher for 28 years before he became the head of the Madison County Schools in 2007.
