Campaign Finance Report Says Rauner Out-Raising, Out-Spending Quinn

facebook.com/GovernorQuinn & facebook.com/BruceRauner

Republican Bruce Rauner is out-raising and out-spending Democratic incumbent Pat Quinn in their race for Illinois governor.

Quarterly campaign finance reports were due Wednesday.

In the last such report before the election, Rauner says he raised and spent more than 20 million dollars between July 1st and the end of last month. Quinn raised about 8 million dollars and spent more than 15 million.

The majority of Quinn’s money came from unions and other political committees. Rauner’s biggest contributor was himself.

The two major-party candidates have spent more money combined since the primary election. That’s already more than was spent in the last Illinois governor’s race.

Libertarian candidate Chad Grimm reports raising no money in the last quarter.
