Pekin mayor Mark Luft is running for re-election in the new 93rd district for the House of Representatives. Luft is an incumbent of less than two years in the current 91st district. He will be facing a primary opponent who does not believe that he is conservative enough to represent the newly-drawn district. WCBU Statehouse reporter Maggie Strahan spoke with Luft about his voting record, his legislative priorities, and his re-election campaign as he angles to stay in Springfield for another term.
