Excerpts:
Daily Herald July 25, 2010
… challenger Rich Voltair is criticizing donations [the incumbent] received from the financial industry at a time when it's mired in controversy.
[The incumbent] received many donations from corporations and political action committees representing a variety of industries.
Those donors included: the health care company Humana, which gave $500; the pharmaceutical firm Pfizer, which gave $500; Supervalu, the parent company of Jewel-Osco, which gave $250; and Walgreen Co., which gave $1,000.
In a news release sent this week, Voltair criticized [the incumbent] for taking donations from banking and mortgage companies or organizations such Titlemax, JP Morgan Chase & Co., Community BancPac and the Illinois Bankers Association.
"The November election will prove to be very contentious and expensive as incumbents defend their established ties to banking interests while upstart citizen activists try to unseat them," Voltair said.
[The incumbent] was puzzled by the attack. She said… the donations she's received from such organizations are not much compared to the donations other, more senior, legislators have accepted.
