Tammy Duckworth for Congress in Illinois was created by Raees
The first female double amputee from the Iraq War is leading Republican incumbent Joe Walsh in the polls, even though the campaign has been nasty.
On October 11, 2012, during a live debate between the candidates, Walsh brought up the fact that Duckworth had been named in a civil suit filed by two employees against Patricia Simms, director of the Anna Veterans' Home in southern Illinois.[38][39][40] Duckworth was co-named in her former capacity as Director of the Illinois Department of Veteran's Affairs.[40] In the suit, the employees claimed they were the targets of harassment after filing complaints against Simms.[40] The suit was dismissed from a federal court in 2009, after which the plaintiffs refiled in state court in Union County.[40] The state court dismissed the suit for insufficient evidence, whereupon the plaintiffs filed for leave to amend their complaint for refiling.[40] In response, Duckworth brought up the fact that Walsh was sued by his "former campaign manager, who said he was owed $20,000, and his ex-wife, who claimed Walsh owed more than $100,000 in overdue child support and interest."[40]
