Davis campaign raised less than promised ahead of another tough primary
Monday, Jul 17, 2023 - Posted by Rich Miller * From last week…
Conyears-Ervin did, indeed, report raising a net of $283,486, and had $240,732.82 cash on hand, with no debt. US Rep. Davis, however, reported raising significantly less than his spokesperson told the Sun-Times. Davis reported a net $64,280 raised (including $250 from Rep. La Shawn Ford). He spent about $29K and ended with $143,076.32 cash on hand and $58,954.71 in debt. He owes close to ten grand to some political consultants, $6,500 to a pollster and about $23K to himself. Kina Collins has not yet filed a quarterly report.

Based on the stories I’ve heard of interactions with Treasurer Conyears-Ervin, I’m not that excited about the prospect of her representing Illinois on the national stage…

Some real legends in the Treasurer’s donations list.

Lots of money or not so much money, he’s still Danny Davis.

Regardless of Congressman Davis’s biggy bank at this time, City Treasurer Conyears-Ervin will have an uphill battle to secure the Dem nod.

If anyone deserves to replace Davis in Congress it should be Kina Collins, who has worked for it and NOT the opportunist and backsliding City Treasurer.

Kina Collins showed he is vulnerable. I think she has a much better chance of winning than Conyears-Ervin, assuming she maintains the base she built in the last election and can raise money.

I am uneasy about Conyears-Ervin and her ties to the politicians based in the Western suburbs. The opportunist label fits her.
- 47th Ward - Monday, Jul 17, 23 @ 3:18 pm:
If both Collins and Conyers-Ervin run against him, Danny Davis should easily win the nomination.

Davis, 81, a South Austin resident, has made it clear for months that he will be seeking another term in 2024. […]
At 81, one must admit…he hopes?

Bigger field likely helps Davis, but democracy is imperfect and the “laws” of winning seats continue to prove old adages
