Christian County State’s Attorney Candidate John McWard is the Republican nominee for the seat.

McWard says that he’s ready to make some changes in Christian County if elected. McWard is focused on the methamphetamine problem in Christian County. 

McWard says that he supports law enforcement’s ability to do their jobs. That includes utilizing multiple agencies to assist in county issues. 

While he admits there isn’t much he can do as one state’s attorney, McWard wants to put pressure on the Safe-T Act. He says that the way it is currently written is bad for Christian County. 

McWard is worried about the no cash bail policy, and he’s worried about the policy that says suspects are given a ticket to appear in court. 

The General Election is November 8th. Early voting is under way in Illinois. 
 

McWard appeared as a guest on the WTIM Morning Show.
