Belford Faces Phelps In 101st District House Race
In the 101st District race Belford challenges incumbent state Rep. Brandon Phelps. Phelps touts a record of prison staffing, coal mine funding and bills, while Belford argues she can vote her conscience free from big donors. Campaign totals show Phelps with about 183 thousand raised, Belford far behind, but Belford emphasizes grassroots support and local focus in Southern Illinois.
