Spend big, win big? Top IL Dems rake in trial lawyer bucks – Legal Newsline

According to the report by Illinois Citizens Against Lawsuit Abuse titled "Follow the Money," the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association's political action committee (PAC) from 2022-2025 donated more than $1 million "exclusively into Democratic political campaigns and organizations." The CALA report indicated that 81 percent of ITLA's political donations were steered to help Democrats win state legislative seats, "ensuring that the very lawmakers responsible for shaping civil justice laws remained financially beholden to the trial lawyers' agenda."
