Once upon a time, Nick Sauer was thought to be a rising star in the Republican Party. In 2016, at the age of 34, he was elected to the Illinois House of Representatives.
After being sworn in, he joined the House Sexual Discrimination and Harassment Task Force, where he developed a reputation for his charming personality and for wearing well-tailored Tom Ford suits.
His colleagues liked him. His constituents liked him. And he planned to run for re-election. Then it all came crashing down.
