Petition Challenges with Tameka Walton, Chicago School Board District 10A Candidate

Even with the best intentions, people who want to run for office may not make it. Illinois has a petition scheme that allows anyone to object to your nominating petition papers. In this episode, we hear from Andrew Finko, attorney, who discusses the origins of the petition challenges. Then we pivot to Tameka Walton, nonprofit executive director, and candidate for the Chicago School Board 10A district. After two challenges, she was knocked off the ballot and will be a write-in candidate.
