“SPRINGFIELD — Incumbent Democrats hold major fundraising advantages in legislative races that Republicans have identified as key to their effort to cut into the rival party’s supermajorities in the Illinois House and Senate in November.
Nine Democratic targets combined to raise nearly seven times as much money as their GOP opponents from April through June, and together they ended the quarterly reporting period with $3.9 million more cash in their campaign funds, according to an analysis of filings with the Illinois State Board of Elections.
Democratic state Sen. Gary Forby of Benton and state Reps. John Bradley of Marion, Brandon Phelps of Harrisburg and Mike Smiddy of Hillsdale all outraised their challengers and ended the period with piles of campaign cash dwarfing those of their opponents.”
