The Friends of Ken Dunkin campaign fund has received $800,000 this year from the Illinois Opportunity Project, run in part by former Republican gubernatorial candidate Dan Proft. Proft’s Liberty Principles Political Action Committee has received $1.8 million from Rauner’s Turnaround Illinois PAC.

The $500K donation to Ken Dunkin probably triggered a filing obligation to list the donor as a Sponsoring Entity. pic.twitter.com/4XTsLd2OuB

Scott Kennedy is the brains and brawn behind the above Twitter feed. We’re talking about combining forces on election night. Should be fun.

  1. Last first…

    ===Scott Kennedy is the brains and brawn behind the above Twitter feed. We’re talking about combining forces on election night. Should be fun.===

    Election Night just got loads better. “I” can’t wait!

    To the Post,

    I guess Dan Proft brought the torches and Tony Peraica lights then by burning the stolen yard signs in a bonfire of Raunerite Solidarity?

    First Raunerites back Gonzo and Dunkin, then they have Proft run some races and Peraica donate to them?

    Yikes.

  2. On one hand, this seems like an unhealthy and undemocratic amount of campaign cash, on the other hand I’m not sure if it’s enough since I’m still hearing plenty of Bob Rohrman ads.

  6. Nice of Donna More to blow the caps for Foxx.

  7. == Dan Proft. Proft’s Liberty Principles Political Action Committee ==

    Should read, “Dan Proft. Proft’s Take Liberties with the truth because I have no Principles Political Action Committee”
