State Sen. Napoleon Harris’ campaign fund has spent more than $6,600 over the past several years at high-end department stores on clothing and other items, records show, but the Flossmoor Democrat and former NFL linebacker won’t explain what was bought and why.
The largest of those expenses by Friends of Napoleon Harris, totaling $2,257.50, was made four days before Christmas in 2020 at the Neiman Marcus store in Oak Brook, according to Illinois State Board of Elections records submitted by the campaign that say the expenditures were for “clothing and supplies.” […]
Harris, who chairs the Illinois Senate’s Insurance Committee and is part of Illinois Senate President Don Harmon’s leadership team, wouldn’t answer most questions about his spending. In a written statement, he said: “As a candidate and elected official, I have filed publicly available campaign reports for more than a decade. If there are discrepancies that can be remedied to provide greater transparency or clarity, we’ll address them in a timely fashion.” […]
An Alsip company that provides food and supplies to restaurants was paid more than $100,000 by Harris’ campaign since 2022, records show. Some of the expenditures were listed as being for “supplies and food products” or just “supplies.” Three of the 10 payments to the company list no detail. Company officials didn’t return calls.
Harris’ campaign fund paid a private elementary and middle school in northwest Indiana more than $13,000 since 2017, with eight of the nine payments listed as donations. One — for more than $5,000 in 2021 — was described as “contractual.”

Surprised that Napoleon Harris would donate more than $13,000 to a private elementary/middle school in NW Indiana. Could a child/ children be attending school there?
From an article in 2015, a Labor Department determined that Harris’ company failed to properly pay 40 employees more than $23,000. Hmmm.
