“For the first time in a long time, Illinois Republicans are giving Democrats a run for their money in terms of campaign spending, and that’s making a lot of news.
Headlines and political blogs focus on how much money Gov. Bruce Rauner contributes to politics. Institute of Government and Public Affairs Director Christopher Mooney said that’s because Republican spending is upsetting the Democrats’ status quo.
