Democratic Illinois Comptroller Susana Mendoza has picked up the endorsement of a business group that usually backs Republican candidates.
The Illinois Chamber of Commerce says Mendoza is the only statewide Democrat to get the group’s backing this year. The Chamber says Mendoza approaches the job with a commitment to fiscal integrity and a spirit of bipartisanship.
Mendoza is seeking another term in November, and faces Republican challenger Shannon Teresi.
