CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Freshman Democratic U.S. Rep. Sean Casten builds up war chest of more than $1.4
million in advance of GOP challenge from Jeanne Ives – RICK PEARSON
https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-sean-casten-congressional-fundraising-20191015-xncrdflmlbgbld2fp4qg7jy6o4-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE:
Federal Election Commission campaign reports showed Ives, who announced her
candidacy in mid-July, raised $340,298 through September. After spending
$117,500, she said she had about $222,796 on hand. Among Ives’ contributors was
conservative megadonor Richard Uihlein, who gave her the maximum $5,600 for the
primary and general election. Uihlein, the Lake Forest businessman who owns
Uline packing materials company, was by far the biggest donor to Ives’ campaign
in advance of her near upset of Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner in last year’s GOP
primary, giving her $2.5 million of the $4.2 million she raised. Ives’ campaign
also received donations from two conservative organizations, reporting $5,000
from the House Freedom Fund and $2,500 from the Susan B. Anthony candidate
fund. . .In dropping out of the contest, Sanguinetti alluded to problems
fundraising, which was backed up by her report with the FEC. She raised only
$39,318 from July through September and had only $36,539 in cash on hand to
start this month. Last week, Gordon “Jay” Kinzler, a transplant surgeon from
Glen Ellyn who has unsuccessfully sought other offices previously, announced he
also would run in the Republican primary for Casten’s seat.)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-lauren-underwood-congressional-fundraising-20191016-7l22xq5e6bcntnsfsdrqkrlbuu-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The
top fundraiser among Republicans trying to win the right to challenge Underwood
in November 2020 was state Sen. Jim Oberweis of Sugar Grove. Oberweis,
unsuccessful in previous bids for Congress and the U.S. Senate, raised $329,493
and reported $551,578 in cash on hand. Oberweis, a dairy magnate and financial
investor, loaned his campaign $200,000 of the cash he raised from July through
September. He now has made a total of $400,000 in loans to his congressional
bid.)
