“The $73,540 debt to the Illinois State Board of Elections has been paid in full,” a statement from Enyia’s campaign, published by the Chicago Sun Times, reads.
Illinois State Board of Elections first revealed on Monday (22 October) that the substantial sum went to the Friends of Amara Enyia political action committee.
“If you accept money from a person like Kanye West, are you also endorsing his stance on Donald Trump?”
The 41-year-old has donated $73,540 (£56,590) to Chicago mayoral candidate Amara Enyia – a long shot for the title – just six days after West’s fellow Chicago native Chance the Rapper endorsed her.
