Report: Chicago Aldermanic Campaigns See Few Small Donations
Via Progress Illinois
Small campaign donations of less than $150 represented only 11 percent of contributions given last year to 2015 Chicago aldermanic candidates.
That’s according to a new campaign finance analysis of Chicago’s aldermanic elections and runoffs by the Illinois PIRG Education Fund.
The report, based on campaign finance data from January 2014 through last Friday, comes ahead of Chicago’s April 7 election, which features 18 aldermanic runoff races. In each of these 18 aldermanic contests, no candidate reached the 50 percent plus one needed in the February 24 election to avoid a runoff. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and top challenger Jesus “Chuy” Garcia are also in a runoff.
