State Representative C.D. Davidsmeyer has announced the second winner of his 100th District Photo Contest. The photograph, titled “Bountiful Crop,” was taken by Andrea Winters of Carrolton and will be displayed in Rep. Davidsmeyer’s Springfield office at the Illinois State Capitol.

Residents from across the 100th District were invited to submit photographs that reflect the area’s character and charm. Submissions featured local landmarks, scenic views, and images of community life, representing the variety found throughout the district.

The winning photo features a group of deer standing in a green field, highlighting both wildlife and agriculture—key aspects of life in the district.

“This photograph perfectly captures the essence of rural life in our district,” said Rep. Davidsmeyer. “It’s a powerful reminder of the natural beauty and agricultural heritage that surround us every day. I’m proud to display this image in my Capitol office as a tribute to the land and wildlife that make our region so special.”

Rep. Davidsmeyer thanked all participants for their entries, noting their talent and sense of community pride.

A final winner is set to be chosen in early August. Constituents are encouraged to submit photos that showcase what makes the 100th District unique by emailing them to [email protected].

Davidsmeyer was elected as a Republican representative for Illinois’ 100th House District in 2012, succeeding Jim Watson.
