The most expensive campaign for state representative in Illinois history did not result in a large crowd at a debate last night. Millions have been spent on one state legislative race this primary.
But only a couple dozen people attended the debate at a South Loop church. Democratic incumbent Ken Dunkin faces Juliana Stratton. She criticized Dunkin for skipping some big votes.
STRATTON: "He sold out the families of this district."
DUNKIN: "I was able to come off the party plantation. And there is a plantation down there whether we like it or not."
Dunkin says Stratton is a pawn of Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan. And Madigan wants to get rid of Dunkin for siding with Republican Governor Bruce Rauner on some big issues.
