The Republican candidate in the 96th House District says his Democratic challenger will have to answer to Mike Madigan, because of the huge amounts of money that Madigan has poured into the race.
Dennis Shackelford says with money comes obligation, and as a result, Democrat Sue Scherer will have to push Madigan’s agenda, rather than the needs of her district.
Shackelford has also received funding from his party’s leadership, but says it is much less and wouldn’t prevent him from responding to his constituent’s needs.
