Governor-elect Lisa Madigan poses with Attorney General-elect Some Guy and outgoing Lt. Governor Sheila Simon, who lost to Guy in an stunning upset. Gracious in defeat, Simon congratulated Guy, saying “What an incredible cinderella story, this unknown, comes out of nowhere, a former groundskeeper now about to become the Attorney General of Illinois.”
Not caption contest but I didn’t know where to post this. I was just looking at D2s and the Governor raised about $540K this quarter. I did a spit take.
Wow. That’s pretty impressive. Lisa still has to file the donations from her $1K + event in Chicago, but looks the Governor is serious.
Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon and Attorney General Lisa Madigan meet with a disguised New Jersey Chris Christie to discuss a bi-state gambling initiative called Jer-Ill a Winner.
Atty. General Lisa Madigan has her picture taken with an unfortunate couple who lost the Halloween costume contest when they tried to save money by sharing a Teddy Roosevelt costume.
