The Madison County leaders who endorse Charlie include:

“Charlie Meier is the fighter that Madison County needs in Springfield,” said GOP Chairman and 2024 Donald Trump RNC Delegate Myles Nelson. “The radical liberals in Springfield will stop at nothing to attack our freedoms and make life more expensive for folks in Southern Illinois. Charlie is not afraid to take on these woke politicians and stand up for our values.”

Charlie Meier has been a vocal advocate for Southern Illinois and a tireless fighter standing up to Chicago politicians and the swamp in Springfield. A lifelong farmer, Charlie Meier brings the same long-term commitment to public service that he does to the land his family has farmed for generations.

"These GOP leaders in Madison County know all too well what it takes to fight the Democrat machine, which is why I’m proud to be supported by these great Republicans,” said Charlie Meier.

“In Springfield, I will never waver in the fight to stand up for our Southern Illinois values.”
