"We take this disgusting threat and act of intimidation very seriously and are working with state and local law enforcement to investigate," the campaign said in a statement to the press. 

If anyone has information about who is behind this sickening stunt, the campaign asks that they call (217)836-2177.

Rep. Bourne, along with Former State Representative Wayne Rosenthal, State Representatives Tim Butler and Sara Wojcicki-Jimenez and Christian County Sherrif Bruce Kettelkamp will be meeting at 4 p.m. Thursday afternoon at the Christian County Courthouse, located at 101 S Main St. in Taylorville to discuss the situation.
