Pat Brady, the chair of the Illinois Republican Party, said "questions have been raised and [Walsh] needs to provide satisfactory answers to those questions."[105] Walsh was also sued by his former campaign manager for allegedly unpaid compensation, and was penalized by the U.S. House for failing to file disclosure reports.
