Right Wing Super PAC Begins Dark Money Barrage to Prop Up Laura Fine in IL-09
EVANSTON, IL — Today, news broke that a dark money super PAC named “Elect Chicago Women” has begun to blanket the airwaves with broadcast television ads in support of state Sen. Laura Fine’s campaign for Congress in Illinois’ 9th Congressional District. The group, which popped up last week and has not disclosed a single donor, is widely suspected to be backed by the right-wing group AIPAC, which has provided the vast majority of Fine’s fundraising for her campaign.
“On the heels of the revelation that Laura Fine raised 92% of money from out-of-state and took $60,000 from Trump’s donors, we now find out that a right-wing dark money super PAC is starting to blanket the airwaves in her support,” said Biss for Congress Campaign Manager George Lundgren. “Fine claims she will stand up to Trump, but her campaign is being propped up by Trump supporters, AIPAC donors, and right-wing super PACs. With mail voting starting this week, it’s time for Fine to tell the truth to 9th District voters about who is actually behind her campaign.”
Recently released campaign finance reports show that state Sen. Laura Fine’s congressional campaign raised $53,350 in the fourth quarter of 2025 from donors who previously gave to Donald Trump. Since launching her campaign, Fine has taken in nearly $60,000 from Trump donors, who have collectively given more than $200,000 to Trump’s political committees (link).
