Two nationally prominent political figures are scheduled to make brief appearances during Monday’s final night of WIU’s Mock Presidential Election, scheduled for 6:30-8:30 p.m. in Western Hall, where students will elect the next president and vice president of the United States.
U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock (R-Peoria, left) is scheduled to address the gathering, as is Dr. Jill Stein, a Green Party candidate for president.
Schock, 30, is the youngest U.S. Representative, elected to Congress in 2008 after serving in the Illinois legislature and Peoria School Board.
Stein, who announced her candidacy on Oct. 24 in Boston, is a native Chicagoan who graduated with honors from Harvard, where she also earned a degree from its Medical School. She’s also giving a 2 p.m. lecture Monday on “A Green New Deal for America” in Morgan Hall 101A.
