Tens of millions of dollars in Super PAC money flowed into Illinois’ primary race: crypto, AI, and dark money PACs that hide where the money came from.
AIPAC spent $22 million through shell PACs and never even talked about Israel.
Sadly, we’re going to see it in our primaries cepts AIPAC's support. I don’t.
Dark money erodes public trust in our democratic process. That’s why I passed the strongest local law in the country – so donors have to sign their names on IEs in NYC.
It’s time to get dark money out of politics.

AIPAC has spent $22m to boost pro-Israel candidates in Illinois Dem primaries.
But its ads focus on anything but Israel, & it’s mostly using shell PACs to conceal the $ trail, reflecting the increasing unpopularity of the group (& of Israel) on the left. politico.com/news/2026/03/1… 2026-03-17T13:16:19.000Z
