DECATUR -- Local business owner Cindy Deadrick-Wolfer suspended her campaign for State Representative Tuesday.
Deadrick-Wolfer, who owns Shop on Main and also runs the marketing company Events Plus, was running as a republican for the Illinois House of Representatives 96th District.
"As a business person and community member, I have not only witnessed, but have experienced the many issues that impact the viability of a thriving State of Illinois," said Deadrick-Wolfer. "I had hoped that my background in business and community would provide a common sense voice for change and help put us on a different path."
She added, "Over the past several months, I have had the opportunity to meet wonderful people, within the various communities that make up the 96th District, and have learned a great deal about a number of organizations that are providing exceptional service and outreach. I wish them all the best as they strive to make a difference."
Deadrick-Wolfer was running against incumbent Sue Scherer for the district covering Macon, Sangamon, and Christian Counties.
Right now, it appears, Scherer will be unopposed on November's ballot.
