More Spent on Just 3 Races Than in All 2014 Legislative Races

“Illinois politics was awash with record amounts of cash during this spring’s primary season.
If you don’t think so, ask residents who live in Chicago’s 5th Illinois House District, or Speaker Michael Madigan’s South Side turf, or downstate in the Illinois Senate’s 50th District.
The candidates in those three races combined to spend nearly $13 million — or about $1 million more than was spent on every House and Senate race in the 2014 primary, according to campaign finance watchdogs at the Illinois Campaign for Political Reform. And that tally could grow when candidates turn in their final primary cycle campaign finance reports.”
