Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss is running to represent Illinois’ 9th congressional district. Biss is competing against 14 other Democratic candidates, including 26-year-old Kat Abughazaleh. Voters head to the polls Tuesday for the primary.
“If [Biss is] going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman’s campaign, I’m going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student,” wrote Megan Wachspress on Monday. Wachspress, now a Stanford Law lecturer, was reacting to an NPR profile which featured Biss and Abughazaleh.
