Michael Kasper

Age: 49

Occupation: Lobbyist and attorney, Fletcher, O’Brien, Kasper & Nottage

Kasper is quietly clout heavy. He is a close adviser to the mayor and one of the most powerful lobbyists in the state—his client roster is loaded with corporate titans, who are paying for Kasper’s inside access to Madigan (No. 2), his old boss.
