Dist. 52 candidates curtail campaign spending

Two years ago, voters in the 52nd House District were in the middle of a full-scale political ad bombardment.
Vying for the office was David McSweeney, an investment banker from Barrington Hills, fresh off an expensive three-way primary battle for the Republican nomination, and Dee Beaubien, the widow of Mark Beaubien, who held the seat for 14 years until his death in 2011.
According to the Illinois Campaign for Political Reform, the race was the Illinois House’s most expensive in the 2012 election, with the candidates and their supporters pouring more than $2 million into their bids.
