Brandon Johnson’s campaign gives back most of a $50,000 contribution from fund run by a City Hall lobbyist – Chicago Sun-Times

The $50,000 given by the Chicago Latino Public Affairs Committee in June 2023 “exceeded the contribution limits set forth in” Chicago’s city code. Unrelated to the Johnson contribution and refund, the committee is the defendant in a lawsuit the state elections board filed last year seeking nearly $50,000 in penalties for not following the public reporting guidelines required of political committees.
