Chapin Rose, Republican candidate for state representative, will visit Eastern Wednesday to speak to a class about voting, campaigning and elections.

Rose will visit Lynea Magnuson’s history class at 1 p.m. in Coleman 2532, said Luke Stowe, Rose’s campaign manager.

Rose said he ran against Magnuson for student trustee at the University of Illinois. He helped pass a law that gave student trustees voting privileges.

Stowe did not think Rose would discuss his personal platforms, but the election in general.

Rose grew up in Charleston and now lives in Mahomet. He is running against Democrat John Hayden of Mattoon.
