(The Center Square) – The campaign finance violation against Illinois Senate President Don Harmon, D-Oak Park, is over after the Illinois State Board of Elections decided to not take up an appeal and dismiss the case. The Liberty Justice Center says it’s time for the courts to weigh in.
Harmon’s campaign finance committee faced a nearly $10 million fine for violating campaign finance law by accepting donations in excess of state limits. Records indicate he personally contributed more than $100,000 to his campaign committee in January 2023, having the effect of lifting contribution limits for others to donate, but took campaign contributions in excess of limits the following election cycle.
Board members were deadlocked on whether to assess the fines against Harmon’s committee last month.
