Via the Chicago Tribune

Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Monday reported taking in nearly $1.4 million in donations to his political fund as he continues to stockpile unprecedented amounts of campaign cash for Chicago mayor’s race.

Most of Emanuel’s latest contributions came from eight wealthy donors, each of whom previously had contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to Emanuel.

Topping the list was billionaire hedge fund founder Ken Griffin, who gave $250,000. Griffin, who is Illinois’ wealthiest man, also was a top donor to Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner’s record-setting campaign last year.
