The McHenry County Democratic Party reported having $7,620.53 on hand at the end of March.

That number reported spending $1,047 for the invitation, but a number of contributions for last Saturday’s event don’t seem to have been booked by March 31st…unless they are among $1,300 unitemized contributions.

There were two $500 union contributions from

• Carpenters Local 2087 PAC
• International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 117 PAC

Local Republicans have $7,200 in the bank after depositing Lincoln Day Dinner receipts.
