Effingham, IL-(Effingham Radio)- Cromwell Media recently conducted an interview with Homer “Chip” Markel (D), candidate for the newly formed 12th District for US representative in Illinois. He is looking to unseat Mike Bost (R), who is the incumbent.

Question 1: I see you have been in the Navy. What experiences from the Navy do you believe will help you if you get elected?

Question 4: Thoughts on inflation?
