IL Dem County Chairs Assoc. continues trend of Madigan subservience by endorsing Madigan’s candidate for governor

“The IDCCA has done it again. Their endorsement of Pritzker today is the latest chapter in a years-long pattern of bending to Madigan’s will. The IDCCA has long been an instrument to support Madigan’s vulnerable House members, and now they’re being used by Madigan to coronate Pritzker with the Democratic nomination for governor.” – Illinois Republican Party Spokesman Aaron DeGroot

As expected, the Illinois Democratic County Chairmen’s Association voted today to endorse Mike Madigan’s candidate for governor, J.B. Pritzker.

Today’s decision is yet another example of the Madigan Machine working to clear the field and install a loyal Madigan ally like Pritzker in the Governor’s Mansion, but the IDCCA endorsement is unsurprising – they have long been a front group for Mike Madigan.

House and his predecessors have done Madigan’s bidding for years, using the IDCCA to funnel campaign cash to Madigan’s allies and vulnerable House Democrats.

After taking big campaign checks from politicians special interest groups associated with Madigan, the IDCCA turned around and funneled that campaign cash to House Democrats and Madigan-enablers.

The IDCCA endorsement is nothing more than what we’ve already seen in this race: Mike Madigan pulling out all of the stops to coronate Pritzker with the Democratic nomination for governor.
