Former state senator and Woodbridge-based attorney Ron Sandack is accusing the backers of GOP gubernatorial candidate Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin of trying to turn him into a different person for the race.
A review of state campaign filings and Aurora public records shows that a company that donated more than $135,000 to political funds connected to Richard Irvin also received millions in city contracts. That same company was also the beneficiary of legislation pushed by Irvin that could prove lucrative.
Aurora mayor Richard Irvin’s popularity with Republican voters may have taken another hit after a long-forgotten tweet noting his declaration of "Dr. Ezike Day" in honor of Illinois Department of Public Health Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike.
