Bourne May Avoid Faceoff Against Fellow Republican

Redistricting can exact an ugly toll, with party allies forced to become opponents.  There are indications that may not happen for State Representative Avery Bourne. As redistricting stands right now, Bourne would be placed in a district with Springfield based State Rep. Mike Murphy, the former owner of Springfield’s iconic Charlie Parker’s Diner.   Murphy has said that he will not seek reelection in 2022 if the new legislative maps are upheld by the courts.  The Springfield Business Journal reports Murphy has applied to serve as the next President of the Springfield Chamber of Commerce.  While Springfield radio host Sam Madonia reports Murphy will be the next leader of the chamber, chamber officials say no final decision has been made.
