“Aurora‘s mayoral race has accounted for more money raised than any other local campaign in the state so far, according to a political advocacy and research group.
As of Friday afternoon, the four candidates on the ballot had raised $412,086 — far ahead of the second-place figure, the $177,827 raised by two candidates in the Berwyn mayor’s race.
State Rep. Linda Chapa LaVia; Ald. Richard Irvin, at large; Ald. Michael Saville, 6th; and Rick Guzman, assistant chief of staff in the mayor’s office, face off Tuesday in a primary that will whittle the four-candidate field down to two for the April 4 general consolidated election.
According to figures from Illinois Sunshine, the website for the Illinois Campaign for Political Reform, and from the Illinois State Board of Elections website, Chapa LaVia has outdistanced her opponents with $209,990 raised, $113,500 of which came after the beginning of the year.”
