I guess Bruce Leon meant it when he said he was “pausing” his quest for the U,S, Congress.

Evanston reports,

“Bruce Leon, the 50th Ward Democratic Committeeman who temporarily suspended his campaign for Congress last week, said Thursday he will stay in the race to succeed Rep. Jan Schakowsky, resisting outside pressure to force him off the ballot.

“In a call with Evanston Now Thursday, Leon said he would not pull his name from the ballot before the 5 p.m. deadline, despite a pressure campaign from the American Israel Political Action Committee, which is quietly working to throw support behind State Sen. Laura Fine as a more viable candidate.”
