* The Tribune looks at reported campaign contributions so far in the attorney general’s race…
*Among the eight Democrats running in the March 20 primary, state Sen. Kwame Raoul tops the field in money so far. The longtime lawmaker started with more than $406,000 in the bank at the end of September and has added about $540,000 in donations since.
*In many cases, candidates have written big checks to their campaign funds. That includes Highland Park Mayor Nancy Rotering, who gave her campaign loans of $178,000 last week, listing a total of about $530,000 in fundraising in the last quarter.
*Chicago Park District President Jesse Ruiz has loaned his campaign $100,000 and contributed a few thousand more, and records show he has raised about $475,000 so far.
*State Rep. Scott Drury recently chipped in $170,000 to his bid and has collected about $364,000 all told.
According to the article, former Gov. Quinn has reported raising about $81K. Sharon Fairley chipped in about $240K to her own campaign. Aaron Goldstein gave himself $185K and raised less than $9K. Renato Mariotti raised about $160,000.

A former Governor raised $81,000 for a statewide race? Sad!

Not much big money. Goldstein said he would not defend any further pension theft laws. Mariotti is running on prosecuting Trumps under state laws in case of pardons though I think that would be a states art. Have heard nothing on the others.

Does Quinn even have a website yet?

Quinn has a website it just doesn’t work anywhere outside of Cook County.

5 more days to report Q4 A1s… but Drury appears to have a sizeable hold on second place for cash on hand since rotering and ruiz started at basically zero and Drury started at 300k

Per the Tribune, Harold will have over $200k on hand? That’s pretty good. If she gets lucky and Quinn eeks out a win in the Dem primary, she’ll be pretty competitive.
