via the Chicago Tribune
Mayor Rahm Emanuel continues to press his fundraising advantage with less than a month to go before the mayoral election, according to state campaign finance reports.
Emanuel announced Tuesday night that he had received another $427,499 in contributions in recent days, including $10,000 from Los Angeles Clippers owner Steve Ballmer, the former CEO of Microsoft. That’s on top of the $355,500 in new campaign donations Emanuel announced last week, according to the Illinois State Board of Elections.
That compares with the $41,665 challenger Jesus “Chuy” Garcia has announced raising since the middle of the month, according to the Board of Elections.
