Bruce Rauner

Republican candidate for governor Bruce Rauner announced today that his campaign raised more than $915,000 in the second quarter fundraising period, bringing his total campaign fundraising to more than $2.2 million.

“I am encouraged by the growth of our campaign and the number of people joining our efforts to shake up Springfield,” said Bruce Rauner. “Our campaign’s momentum is proof that voters want a candidate who is willing to take the status quo head on and won’t back down from the government union bosses and special interests that control state government.”

Since becoming a candidate, Bruce has attended more than 20 campaign and community events. His next stop will be in Quincy on Tuesday. Before announcing his run for governor, Bruce traveled the state on a Listening Tour, totaling more than 75 stops over a three month period.

“Folks from every region of Illinois are fed up with the political power families and career politicians who run our state,” Rauner said. “Voters are ready to turn our state around, and I will work tirelessly to make that happen.”
