— GOP’s small-fry fundraising – SHIA KAPOS and ADRIENNE HURST
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2019/11/12/gops-small-fry-fundraising-madigan-hammers-arroyo-deval-patrick-eyes-white-house-run-487650
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Since
his exit from politics, the GOP has had to change direction. The party hopes
its grassroots fundraising campaign, called Lincoln Legion, will raise funds
the old-fashioned way. Hackler says 92 percent of all donations in 2019 have been
of $100 or less. How it’s playing out: The party raised $36,405 during the most
recent reporting period that ended Sept. 30, according to the State Board of
Elections. That’s up from $19,000 in donations the previous three months.
Republicans have $106,369 cash on hand — up from $88,412 at the end of June.
The House Republican Organization has $417,006 cash on hand; the Republican
State Senate Campaign Committee has $214,986 cash on hand; and House Minority
Leader Jim Durkin has $1.1 million on hand. Those are small-fry numbers
compared to the Democratic Party of Illinois, which has $819,289 cash on hand.
Sure, there are more Dems in Illinois, but the differences are stark. Friends
of Michael Madigan has $7.1 million, the Democratic Majority has $4 million,
and the 13th Ward Organization, where Madigan holds sway, has $1.8 million.
Pritzker isn’t the only reason Dem fundraising outpaces the GOP. There’s been
an eroding of Republican support in the affluent suburbs. Call it the Trump
effect, says Democratic political consultant Scott Kennedy. “The 2018
Democratic fundraising success has largely been attributed to a higher level of
enthusiasm among Democratic voters but the number of check-writing affluent
suburbanites who switched from Republican to Democrat in the Trump era likely
also played a role,” he told Playbook. “If Illinois Republicans are going to
rebound, they’ll need to reverse that trend.”)

(DIERSEN: My Democrat superiors in the federal government knew full-well that
it was illegal to discriminate because of political affiliation, race, gender,

male, and/or non-veteran who they had not promoted to GS-13 (currently $98,198)
by age 25, GS-14 (currently $116,040) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $136,495) by
age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $165,500) by age 40. It is called
pretext.)
