Retaliation Lawsuit Against Michael Madigan Moves Forward With Discovery
(ILLINOIS NEWS NETWORK) – A lawsuit filed by a former campaign worker against the Democratic Party of Illinois alleging harassment and retaliation is moving forward after a judge denied the party’s motion to dismiss the case.
In March, former campaign worker Alaina Hampton sued House Speaker Michael Madigan’s political operation for allegedly retaliating against her after she made allegations of sexual harassment against a manager.
Hampton claimed Kevin Quinn, a high-level Madigan political operative, made repeated unwanted sexual advances. After reporting it internally, she said she was retaliated against and blocked from working on other campaigns.
A judge denied the Democrats’ motion to dismiss the case Tuesday. Hampton’s attorney, Shelly Kulwin, said she appeared Wednesday in front of the judge for an update on the discovery process.
