Four Democrats and two Republicans are set up for competitive primaries in the race for secretary of state, where ethics has been front and center.

As the month of June begins, we are less than four weeks away from the primary election, with dozens of fascinating races on the ballot to kick off the summer.

Ald. David Moore (17th), who has limited campaign coffers, tried to paint himself as the candidate without any ethical problems — as former state treasurer Alexi Giannoulias and Chicago city clerk Anna Valencia traded barbs in the heated Democratic race to succeed Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White.

Democrats across the nation are hoping to use the leaked Supreme Court draft opinion that could signal the overturning of Roe v. Wade to bring voters to the polls. That’s a trickier strategy for Valencia in the secretary of state’s race.

Quigley’s endorsement is the ninth Giannoulias has received from a current or former Democratic member of the U.S House or Senate.
