State Representative Jack Franks (D-Marengo) raised $145,000 during the last six months, but spent $114,000.

The Democrat has $183,500 left in the bank.

Not enough to run a decent statewide campaign, but a pretty good base.

Individual and business contributors gave $80,450 (total is $500 less than stated on Franks’ D-2 because Alderman Ed Burke’s the Burnham Committee was incorrectly included among individuals and businesses) during the last half of 2008 are listed in descending order below.
