“SPRINGFIELD — At a time when many Republicans are running away from Donald Trump, a Democratic state senator has formed a political action committee that’s seeking to bind members of the Illinois GOP to their party’s presidential candidate.
Sen. Daniel Biss, a progressive from Evanston, announced Tuesday that he has formed Leading Illinois for Tomorrow, or LIFT, a federal super PAC that can collect unlimited contributions to support its message. The committee already spent more than $1 million this week on television and digital advertising, according to filings with the Federal Election Commission.
Biss said he formed the committee to combat the millions of dollars Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and his supporters are pouring into races for the General Assembly. Much of that money is being spent on campaign messages linking Democrats to Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan, who leads the state Democratic Party and is widely unpopular with voters.”
