The latest report filed by Citizens for Dee Beaubien with the Illinois State Board of Elections is that her campaign fund received another $93,023.20.

None is from a traditional Republican source.

All the contributions to the Barrington Hills woman running as an Independent are from stalwarts of the Democratic Party.

$50,000 – Friends of Michael J. Madigan
$20,000 – Construction and General Laborers’ District Council of Chicago and Vicinity
$5,000 – Illinois Pipe Trades PAC 534 S. Second St.
$2,669.26 – Democratic Party of Illinois for postage
$5,662.66 – Democratic Party of Illinois for printing
$7,270.85 – Personal PAC for postage
$1,397.55 – Democratic Majority to pay Shaw Decremer
$1,022.88 – Democratic Majority to pay Andy Jones

The total from Mike Madigan-controlled Political Action Committees amounts to $93,013.20.

Beaubien is running against Republican David McSweeney.

McSweeney deserves it. He bought the primary win, but should have to earn this one.

I was going to take 2 days off to work for Joe Walsh, now I have to take 2-3 more days off to work for Dave McSweeney, and to think that Dee Beaubien and I supported Kent Gaffney in the primary….politics sure is strange and to think Mike Madigan jumped into bed with Dee must have Springfield really talking.
