“Amanda did a great job capturing the beauty of the 100th District,” Davidsmeyer said. “While this picture was taken from her driveway in Jersey County, this beautiful scenery easily represents scenery throughout west central Illinois and reminds me of home!”

The photo contest, open to constituents of all ages in the 100th District, aims to showcase the beauty and diversity of west-central Illinois. Selected photos will be displayed in Davidsmeyer's Capitol office in Springfield, offering visitors a glimpse into the people, places, and daily life of the region.
