AIPAC pours millions into Illinois Democratic primaries, reserving at least $1.9 million in ads to boost Chicago Treasurer Melissa Conyears-Ervin in the crowded March 17 race to replace retiring Rep. Danny Davis. The pro-Israel lobby coordinates donors and deploys super PACs like Affordable Chicago Now and Elect Chicago Women to back candidates such as Ann Williams Fine, Nikki Miller, and others facing progressives who slam Israel aid.
