Weissman, who lives in Aurora, has spent the last 8 years in the General Assembly, standing up to corporate interests and lobbyists. And worse, he was effective at it, closing tax loopholes, defending workers’ rights, and reforming a broken tax code.

“When you do the kind of bills I’ve done you torque people off who have money and power,” Weissman said.
