Ken Shade is a former U.S. Senator of Illinois and convicted felon.
Biography[]
Ken Shade started off in politics as a Cook County Circuit Court Judge in his home state of Illinois. Shade's massive gambling debts made him a pawn for the mob and, eventually, for Moloch, who used his criminal organization to rapidly push Shade up the political ladder. With Moloch help, he won a seat in the U.S. Senate and became a major candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 1968.
Following his arrest, Shade writes a book in prison about his role in the failed assassination of Richard Nixon titled Sell Your Soul.[1]
