“The upcoming election for Illinois’ Governor in Nov. of 2018 is proving to be one of the most significant gubernatorial races in U.S. history. Citizens of Illinois have endured a brutal budget war, where they went two years without a state budget. The setback presumably hurt both the state’s economy and the trust citizens held in their chosen representatives.
Current Governor Bruce Rauner took majority of the blow for this debacle, and in turn his approval ratings sit at a 36 percent. As it looks like it will be a battle for Gov. Rauner to secure re-election, democrats across the state have jumped to their feet to seize the typically blue state.
The most expensive gubernatorial race was in 2010 where the candidates in California spent nearly $280 million. Sarah Brune, director of the Illinois Campaign for Political Reform, said in June of this year that he election was “hurtling down the track towards that destination.”
