An Illinois Democrat state lawmaker and her county clerk husband are heading into the November election while facing federal criminal charges tied to an alleged corruption scheme involving campaign kickbacks, taxpayer-funded grants, and efforts to obstruct an FBI investigation.
And here’s the kicker: Their federal trial has been postponed until December 7, more than a month AFTER Election Day!
Democrat State Rep. Carol Ammons of Urbana and her husband, Champaign County Clerk Aaron Ammons, were indicted by a federal grand jury on July 7, 2026. Both pleaded not guilty on July 16.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported on July 9, 2026, the federal indictment against Carol and Aaron Ammons came just weeks after their daughter, Titianna Ammons, was separately indicted on federal wire fraud charges.
Despite the serious allegations, both remain in their elected positions and are seeking reelection in November.
Even more troubling, Aaron Ammons remains responsible for overseeing elections in Champaign County while facing charges that he attempted to obstruct a federal investigation involving his own family.
According to Capitol News Illinois reporting published by NPR Illinois, Carol Ammons faces a write-in challenge from Keith Smith, while her husband is running against Republican Alan Anderson.
