In an Oct. 7 Facebook post, Rep. Dan Caulkins (R-Decatur) endorsed Regan Deering to represent the 13th District.
“Proud to endorse the BEST candidate for the 13th, Regan Deering," Caulkins posted.
In his Facebook post, Caulkins shared a Macon County Republican Women's Facebook post. It read: "So proud of Regan Deering! Regan did a fantastic job in the debate. She’s obviously the best choice for the 13th! It’s time for MCRW to mobilize, volunteer and get the vote out for Regan "
According to her campaign website, Deering is a lifelong resident of Illinois. She has experience as the Capital Campaign Chair for the Northeast Community Fund, and as chair of the Decatur Public School Foundation.

Deering will be running against Democratic candidate Nikki Budzinski.
The 13th District includes Urbana and Carlinville.
The seat is currently being held by Rep. Rodney Davis (R-Taylorville). It opened because of the state's redistricting, which moved Davis to the 15th District where Mary MIller had bested him in the primary, according to a Yahoo news article.
Dan Caulkins was first elected to the Illinois House in 2018. His legislative experience includes serving on the Restorative Justice, and Judiciary - Criminal committees. He resides in Metropolis.
