Illinois partisan politics formally undermined a staff finding that state Senate President Don Harmon’s political fund violated campaign contribution limits last year.

Potential 2028 Democratic contenders are escalating speculation of Republican attempts to undermine upcoming elections. The right calls it irresponsible "fearmongering."

Staff at the elections board fined Don Harmon’s campaign $9.8 million earlier this year following a Chicago Tribune report that it improperly accepted $4 million more than was allowed during the 2024 election.

A partisan vote from the Illinois State Board of Elections means the Oak Park Democrat's political committee won't be hit with a massive fine for allegedly accepting donations beyond campaign financing law.

The campaign finance violation against Harmon is over after the Illinois State Board of Elections decided to not take up an appeal.

The Illinois State Board of Elections meets Tuesday to take up dozens of objections to various candidates’ petitions. A man is charged in connection with the death of 14-year-old Kylie Toberman in Vandalia.

The House has voted to reprimand Illinois Rep. Chuy Garcia over an eyebrow-raising succession plan for his congressional seat.
