Springfield, Ill. (ECWd) –
On May 20, 2026, the Illinois State Board of Elections ordered that one of the four alleged violations in a complaint filed against Chris Slusser, Madison County Board Chairman, was filed on justifiable grounds. The Board will now hold a public hearing for a final determination of the case.
This decision was the result of a closed session hearing where both parties (complainant and respondent) stated/argued their sides of the issues complained about.
The complaint consisted of allegations that Slusser received donations from 10 PACs totaling around $50,000, and that all the PACs were recently formed, and that letters sent to those PACs were returned undeliverable.
