Race background
Before her appointment, Bourne was a campaign volunteer for Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner. The Illinois Republican Party spent more than $255,000 to assist Bourne in the primary, including mailers, television ads, and polling.[8]
Hicks said Bourne was the "establishment choice" who was primarily backed by "Governor Rauner and his deep-pocket cronies." Scobbie questioned whether Bourne had enough "life experiences" to represent District 95. Bourne responded that she brings "a different perspective, a different background from what we’ve been sending to Springfield for years and years."[9]
