Afternoon Briefing: Naperville council candidate claims endorsements he didn't get
Good afternoon, Chicago.
Last week, Naperville City Council candidate Nag Jaiswal took to Facebook to proudly announce the endorsements he said he received from U.S. Reps. Raja Krishnamoorthi, of Schaumburg, and Danny Davis, of Chicago.
'The endorsement from respected Democratic leaders reflects my steadfast commitment to honest government,' the announcement read.
Except, neither Davis nor Krishnamoorthi has endorsed Jaiswal.
