Bushra Amiwala and two other Democratic Party congressional candidates have announced a January 15th Chicago press conference on “Press Conference on AIPAC’s Influence & Money in Illinois Elections.”
Amiwala, candidate in Illinois’ 9th district, said offers to take corporate PAC money are nothing new to her.
“Since I first ran for office as a teenager, I have received scores of offers to take money from corporate PACs. I have never accepted it, and for good reason,” said Amiwala.
“I will not be beholden to special interests.
“Nor will I be compromised by foreign lobbying groups like AIPAC that seek to covertly sway our lawmakers—and, in many cases, succeed. I answer only to my constituents.
“That will never change.”
The other two candidates are
- Kina Collins (IL-07)
- Joey Ruzevich (IL-06)
