Recent data from the National Institute on Money in State Politics shows candidates for state House and Senate seats in Illinois alone raised more than $95 million this past election cycle.
Illinois ranks second in the nation for money raised to support state legislative races. […]
There are 12.1 million people in Illinois, and there were 61 contested races. The only state to top fundraising in Illinois was California, with $118.9 million raised. But the population of that state is three times larger than Illinois and it had a greater number of contested races in the 2016 general election.

How much of that $95M was from Rauner? I forgot what the last tally was.
