It might have been hanky panky for all we know.
Madigan be like, hey I’ve got an uprising on my hands, you got to take one for the team, don’t worry my brother-in-law still has something for you.
Here are a few sample texts (and descriptions from the newspaper):
Among the texts included in Hampton’s filing was one in which Kevin Quinn purportedly informed her he was separated from his wife.
“I think about you all the time,” one text said. Another text stated that he’d seen a picture on Facebook of Hampton in a bikini and said: “You are smoking hot!”
A subsequent text included a message calling her “hot,” “beautiful” and “smart.”
Hampton repeatedly discouraged the overtures, saying she wanted to keep the relationship professional.
“I need you to stop,” one text stated. “I have dedicated a lot of time to this election cycle and I will continue to do so, but I need to be able to do my work without you contacting me like this. I’m not interested. I just want to do my work.”
Quinn recently pleaded guilty to misdemeanor disorderly conduct during his involvement in divorce proceedings.
In November, lawmakers approved several bills aimed at curbing sexual harassment in Illinois politics amid warnings that the rushed effort alone isn’t enough to correct a decadeslong culture of unethical behavior toward women at the Capitol. Legislative leaders also appointed a legislative inspector general, a post that had been vacant for three years as ethics complaints piled up.
