Daiber made campaign stops in Springfield and Wood River Monday to address what he calls a "pro-labor agenda" to preserve prevailing wage in the state of Illinois, and to express his support for collective bargaining agreements.

 

The perceived front-runner for the Democratic nomination is Chicago businessman J.B. Pritzker, but Daiber says that may not be the reality.

 

 

Daiber was a public school teacher for 28 years before he became the head of the Madison County Schools in 2007.
