Problem is her opponent is Mark Kirk, a flaming progressive RINO is a very weak candidate in a Democrat state. Illinois, and especially Crook County in Chicago loves those corrupt politicians. It seems every year someone is going to jail from that state for corrupt. Workplace retaliation is something right out of the Chicago progressive thug playbook.
An Illinois judge ruled on Thursday that the lawsuit against Rep. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) alleging workplace retaliation will tentatively go to trial in the months before her November election.
Union County Judge David Boie rejected a call by the Illinois attorney general’s office, which represented Duckworth at the hearing, to dismiss the case, according to ABC News. The case set to go to trial in August.
Duckworth is locked in a tight battle with Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) in one of the most competitive Senate races of this cycle. President Obama won the Democratic-leaning state in both 2008 and 2012.
Kirk’s campaign has jumped on the hearing as a campaign issue and quickly responded to the judge’s ruling.“There’s no doubt Duckworth’s record and sacrifice in the military should be respected and honored. But her record as [former Gov.] Rod Blagojevich’s Director of Veterans’ Affairs, however, was one plagued by mismanagement and scandal that endangered the care of Illinois veterans,” Kirk campaign manager Kevin Artl said in a statement.
“Now, as Duckworth prepares for her court case on charges that she silenced whistleblowers, Illinois voters have a clear choice between independent Mark Kirk and trial-bound Tammy Duckworth.”
