AIPAC’s dark money group, “Chicago Progressive Partnership,” just filed another $500K media buy attacking Bernie-endorsed Junaid Ahmed from the left in IL08. Total spending against Junaid is now $664K. Junaid must be polling well against AIPAC-backed Melissa Bean.

Fairshake, the crypto super PAC, is up big in IL07 with a Chicago area $1.5M buy attacking La Shawn Ford, hitting him hard over his 2012 indictment. The ad doesn't mention that prosecutors dropped the 17 felony counts and Ford pled to a misdemeanor for filing a false tax return.
