WASHINGTON — In the only Democratic primary in Illinois where incumbents are facing off, new Federal Election Commission reports show Sean Casten is raising substantially more than rival Marie Newman and has a massive cash-on-hand advantage.
Newman is also continuing to pay an outsized salary for part-time work to the man at the center of a House Ethics Committee probe, who her campaign hired days after a secret settlement of a lawsuit over whether she reneged on a promise to give him a job in exchange for him not running against her in 2020.
