Susana Mendoza backs away from former boyfriend, ally Ald. Proco Moreno; Mednoza doesn't recall being honored guest for Moreno upcoming fundraiser Feb. 20, 2019
Records show last decade, Mendoza gave Moreno more than $50,000 in loans and contributions. When she was asked about it, Mendoza said she has "always supported candidates who want to run for office here and there and in different ways."
"So, for those keeping score at home, Mendoza has had to distance herself from indicted Alderman Ed Burke, Alderman Danny Solis, Speaker Mike Madigan, donor Brian Hynes, and now Alderman Joe Moreno."

Moreno, who Mendoza identified as an ex-boyfriend, is facing scrutiny from the Chicago police. The department is investigating whether he filed a false police report last month claiming his car was stolen.
