6th & 14th Congressional District Update 7/8/19

Congressman Sean Casten announced he raised $700,000 in 2nd quarter, bringing total receipts for 2019 to $1.1 million.
From Casten’s campaign Facebook:

Currently, he has not yet filed his 2nd quarter report with the Federal Election Commission (FEC), so cannot see who his contributors are. 

Here is what he had raised, spent and had on-hand at the end of March:

At this point, there has been no response from Republican Evelyn Sanguinetti to Casten’s fundraising, or her own fundraising for the 2nd quarter.

Underwood did not release her fundraising results through social media (at the time of this writing), but print media, both the Chicago Tribune and Shaw Media, reported the similar $700,000 2nd quarter fundraising, and the year-to-date total of $1.1 million.  Here is what Underwood at raised through the end of March:

None of Underwood’s announced Republican challengers who have filed FEC documents (Ted Gradel, Danny Malouf, James Marter, Jim Oberweis) have filed their 2nd quarter FEC reports.

  1. If a bunch of imbeciles threw me a mlllion.

    I’d not only throw my hat in the ring, it would be from the top rope, with my head still inside the hat.

  2. All this proves is that the Devil doesn’t have trouble getting funds to do his evil works.

  3. DJ – I’m betting that you probably aren’t talented enough for that to happen.

  4. Your just feeling the pain of being accurately described by my post.

  5. 6 Republicans with zero money vs one Democrat with over a million.

    This is either the boldest electoral strategy in the history of ever or these candidates are just not serious people.

    Knowing the Illinois Republican Party and most of the people who are running, it’s probably the latter.
