Conservative Tea Party Candidate Adam Andrzejewski is within striking distance.
From the Andrzejewski campaign insiders–
Metro East St. Louis may decide primary.
There is a record low turnout in the Chicago burbs. Downstate and specifically Metro East will determine outcome for Adam, Hughes, others. Please pump conservative GOTV hard.
