A new report reveals that a trial lawyer's political action committee has spent over $1 million on Democratic candidates and committees since Election Day 2022. The report, titled “Follow the Money: How Illinois Trial Lawyers Fuel a Lawsuit-Friendly Legislature,” was created by Illinois Citizens Against Lawsuit Abuse.
The Illinois Trial Lawyers Association Political Action Committee has contributed solely to Democrats in the General Assembly and statewide offices from 2022 to early 2025. Most of the contributions (81%) went to legislative candidates or PACs linked to the General Assembly and Senate. The top recipients were Speaker Chris Welch ($80,000) and Senate President Don Harmon ($75,000). Melin urges legislators to focus on their constituents rather than lobbyists.
