Former House Speaker Michael J. Madigan is under federal indictment for racketeering and bribery charges. My opponent, Katie Stuart, has received nearly $2 million in funds directly under Madigan’s control since first running for office. I call on her to give that money back to a charity of her choice and show voters in the 112th District that her commitment to rooting out corruption in Springfield is sincere.
