Mayor Brandon Johnson’s campaign is returning a $250 donation from Robert Blackwell, whose company EKI—now Quant16—has a $105 million IT contract with the city. This follows a pattern of accepting and then returning contributions from entities tied to City Hall, sparking ethics concerns. An inspector general’s probe, launched after Johnson took office, uncovered potential conflicts involving EKI’s work and a former official’s son being hired for an internship. While the IG recommends banning Quant16 from future city contracts, Blackwell insists all work was properly documented. Johnson’s campaign also continues to accept millions from labor unions, raising questions about campaign finance rules and how they apply to city business relationships.
