Democratic Attorney General Candidates Meet With Tribune Board

CHICAGO, IL — All Democratic candidates for Illinois Attorney General appeared at an endorsement session with the Chicago Tribune's editorial board on Wednesday.

The eight candidates jumped into the race on short notice following Attorney General Lisa Madigan's announcement last September that she was not running for reelection.

During much of the event, candidates spoke over one another and accusing each other of being beholden to lobbyists and the party political machine.

• Scott Drury, state representative
• Sharon Fairley, a former police oversight agency chief
• Aaron Goldstein, a ward committeeman
• Renato Mariotti, a former prosecutor
• Kwame Raoul, a state senator
• Nancy Rotering, a mayor
• Jesse Ruiz, a school board member
