SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WJPF) – Gary Carter, a Republican hopeful in the new 116th House District, has been removed from the ballot.
Carter, a Fairfield based farm implement salesman, was removed over challenges to signatures on his nominating petitions.
Wednesday’s decision by a Sangamon County Circuit judge is final. Carter had appealed similar, previous rulings against his campaign.
David Severin is now running an uncontested race in the 116th district. No Democrats filed to be on the ballot.
