Chicago City Council Limits Lobbyist Contributions
Chicago City Council has voted unanimously to ban registered lobbyists from financially contributing to mayoral candidates, incumbent or otherwise.
Additionally, businesses owned by lobbyists are also banned from contributing.
Violations could result in a 90-day ban from lobbying city officials.
Ordinance 2024-009664 was previously deferred but was revived when Mayor Brandon Johnson dropped his opposition to the plan.
