Illinois State Representative Avery Bourne announced on her Facebook page this afternoon, that she’s running as a Lieutenant Governor candidate with Aurora mayor and Republican candidate for Governor Richard Irvin.

Bourne’s Facebook post indicated that as the youngest person to be sworn into the Illinois State Legislature in 2015, she’s promoted pro-growth policies to keep families in Illinois.  

She concluded her post by saying she loves Illinois and looks forward to working with Irvin to revitalize our state.

Irvin is part of a crowded field of Republican candidates for Governor to run against incumbent J-B Pritzker.
