Hundreds of thousands of dollars from a group that appears to be maneuvering to hide its donors is pouring into Democratic state Senate primary in Aurora, raising questions about the organization’s intentions and how it may affect the trajectory of the race.
Representation Matters has spent $271,000 thus far on mailers, digital ads and canvassing to help Aurora attorney Idris Keith in his Senate District 28 race against state Rep. Mike Weissman. Keith has the backing of business groups, while Weissman is endorsed by a slate of his Democratic colleagues in the legislature, as well as union, environmental and progressive groups.
The district is so favorable to Democrats that whoever wins the June 25 primary will almost certainly win in November, too.
