Article Summary Tom DeVore, who unsuccessfully ran as a Republican for Illinois attorney general in 2022, will lose his law license for 60 days, per a recent Illinois Supreme Court order. One of those clients was a married Springfield salon owner who quickly became DeVore’s girlfriend, according to state disciplinary panel documents. The panel ruled DeVore acted imprudently both by having a sexual relationship with her and in his actions after their relationship ended. The business was failing in the spring of 2023 when Craig made her threat to expose DeVore, according to ARDC documents. The disciplinary panel also found the email violated state ethics rules for attorneys.
