Failed Madigan Challenger Files Defamation Lawsuit

The man who challenged Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan and lost in the Democratic primary this year has filed a federal lawsuit against Madigan, accusing him of fraud and defamation. “Madigan is not going to get away with this,” Jason Gonzales said. He got about 27 percent of the vote in the Democratic primary this past March, versus 65 percent for Madigan.
