FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Senator Jim DeMint has been using his “Senate Conservatives Fund” to promote a failed ‘real estate developer” in Illinois

Senator Jim DeMint is embarrassed by links to Patrick Hughes and his financially-troubled business associates

(CHICAGO)(December 14,

2009) Illinois corruption fighter and U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin disclosed Monday that Senator Jim DeMint’s “Senate Conservatives Fund” [www.senateconservatives.com/] has been promoting a failed Chicago area real estate “developer Patrick Hughes, whose firm has apparently defaulted on municipal fidelity bonds.

“What has Hughes ‘developed” Martin asks DeMint to explain. “One of Hughes development operations is apparently defunct, another has failed to file annual reports and the firm that lists him as ‘General Counsel’ has been accused by Yorkville, Illinois village officials of a ‘faded and unattractive’ series of site-based advertisements and defaulting on fidelity bonds. ‘Did DeMint do de vetting” Andy asks.

“DeMint conducted a bogus ‘poll’ to promote Hughes.
