What Happened this Week?
Political contributions and transfers in Illinois for 2016 have now surpassed
$100 million, nearing total amounts contributed in previous Presidential Election years.
In
2012 and 2008, there were
$171 million
and
$151 million
in contributions and transfers respectively. Years with Gubernatorial Elections tend to see more state level contributions, with over $340 million in 2014 and over $277 million in 2010.
The
Illinois Republican Party spent over
$130,000 on independent expenditures during the last two weeks. The money went towards advertisements for 11 challengers of Democratic incumbents in the House and Senate. No independent expenditures have been made on behalf of the Democrats in those races.
The
Citizens to Protect Transportation Funding,
a ballot initiative committee,
continued an upward fundraising trend this week. On Monday, the committee received
$300,000
donation
from Excavators, Inc and a
$50,000 donation
from Southern Illinois Construction Advancement Program. Those donations alone doubled the committee's total funds from two weeks ago when
there was a pick up in their fundraising.
The group, which was founded in late June, already has
$827,000 in available funds
.
They support an amendment that would create a lockbox for transportation funds.
