Cade Peterson from St Louis made this his second time seeing the President, but it’s his first to Jackson County.

“I meet a lot of good people, weather it be at a gas station or a restaurant, meet a lot of good people.”

He had a completely different experience at the Southern Illinois Airport compared to St Louis.

“There was a gate just like that and it was people waiting in line for the rally and protesters on the other side of the fence, I got spat on a couple times, it was a little more violent.”

Jackson County Republican Party Chairman Gloria Campos doesn’t pass up a chance to see the President, regardless of their party.

“When President Clinton came to Southern Illinois, even though I wasn’t a Democrat, I went to see him because we have respect and honoring the office.”
