$25,000 is the grand total raised by McHenry County Republican Central Committee Mike Tryon for his non-central committee political action committee.

That total is $15,800.

In addition, $9,200 was contributed by 14 political action committees, as follows:

$1,500 – Republican Central Committee of McHenry County
$1,100 – Citizens to Elect Phyllis K. Walters, Recorder of Deeds
$1,000 – Illinois Merchants Political Action Committee Team
$800 – Manzullo for Congress, U.S. Representative
$800 – Citizens for Beaubien, State Representative
$800 – Committee to Elect Michael Tryon, State Representative
$600 – Citizens to Elect Lou Bianchi, McHenry County State’s Attorney
$600 – Committee to Elect Katherine Keefe, Circuit Clerk candidate
$600 – Committee to Elect Pamela Palmer, County Auditor
$500 – Citizens to Re-Elect Bob Miller, Algonquin Township Road Commissioner
$200 – Citizens for Hammerand, county board member
$200 – Committee to Elect Sue Draffkorn, county board member
$200 – Citizens for Mary L. Donner, county board member

The only ones who are on the ballot I see missing are State Senator Pam Althoff, state senate candidate Dan Duffy and a couple of judges running for retention.

When Al Jourdan was central committee chairman, the money from candidates was paid directly to the central committee. It was basically a fee to allow the committee to print literature and/or mail it.

$12,000 was transferred to the McHenry County Republican Central Committee last week.
