Democrat Alexi Giannoulias had a commanding lead over Republican Dan Brady in his bid to replace Jesse White, who has overseen the secretary of state’s office since 1999.
With his family looking on, Democratic Illinois Secretary of State candidate Alexi Giannoulias addresses his supporters as he claims victory at the Sheraton Grand Chicago on election night, Nov. 8, 2022.
Brady, deputy minority leader in the Illinois House, said he called Giannoulias to concede and wish him well shortly before 8:45 p.m. White, the first Black politician to hold the position, regularly outperformed the rest of the Democratic ticket in statewide elections during his six consecutive terms.“I’ve had the great pleasure of serving in this capacity for the past 24 years,” White told the Tribune shortly before the polls closed.
Giannoulias attacked Valencia for her husband’s lobbying activities, which seemed even more problematic given the secretary of state oversees lobbying in Illinois. As part of his campaign platform, Giannoulias promised to ban spouses from lobbying their partners’ offices, block politicians from receiving money from people who work for them and curtail unregistered lobbying.Broadway Bank failed in 2010, roughly four years after Giannoulias left his position there as a senior loan officer.
