GOP Senate candidate Jeannie Evans talks Christian values, antitrust laws, and AI

We continue our series of conversation with Senate candidates vying to take over outgoing Senator Dick Durbin's set. Jeannie Evans is an antitrust enforcement lawyer and one of the Republicans running in next month’s Senate primary. 

She was born and raised in Los Angeles County in Southern California. Evans went to Brigham Young University and earned an undergraduate degree in political science. After earning a law degree from Harvard Law School, her work as a commercial litigation attorney took her back to California. 

Then, after a few years away from work life, Evans returned to being an attorney-this time for a firm in Chicago. She co-founded her own litigation firm and stayed there for a few years, before moving to another firm in Chicago, where she’s worked for almost 10 years pursuing lawsuits against the likes of Hyatt, Hilton, Temu, and TikTok. Evans joins the program to discuss her background as well as foreign and domestic policy.
