Willie Wilson, a Chicago resident and a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016, recently was in the news. See this story, which is about a campaign event at which Governor Bruce Rauner and Wilson were on the platform together in a large church. After Rauner had left the building, Wilson told the audience that he wanted to help people with their finances, and handed out $300,000 in cash. Thanks to Rick Hasen for the link.

Wilson is currently suing the Democratic National Committee in U.S. District Court over how the national party treated him during his 2016 run for the Democratic nomination.
