As of today, here are the amounts in play in the campaign for Illinois Governor. Data accumulated by a Friend of McHenry County Blog.
| JB Pritzger | $ 60,002,990.86 | $ 148,574,662.85 | |
| Bruce V. Rauner | $ 33,743,178.15 | $ 78,845,075.75 | |
| Sam McCann | $ 974,251.00 | $ 1,623,885.08 | |
| Grayson “Kash” Jackson | $ 1,985.32 | $ 10,783.00 | |
| Total Funds from Primary challengers | $ 19,360,135.41 | ||
| Total funds in Gubernatorial race | $ 248,414,542.09 |
That amount translates to $20 for every live person currently living in Illinois.

“Billionaire Democratic governor candidate J.B. Pritzker pumped another $20 million into his campaign, extending his record-setting self-funding to more than $146.5 million, a state finance report filed minutes before midnight Saturday showed.
For the record, the latest multimillion cash infusion made last Tuesday brings Pritzker’s total to $146,550,034 since March 2017, state campaign finance records showed.
Pritzker’s campaign also put $1 million into the Democratic Party of Illinois, which is chaired by House Speaker Michael Madigan, Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner’s chief political nemesis. The contribution followed $420,000 Pritzker gave the state party a week earlier.”
But I’m still not voting for the fraud called Rauner. Sam McCann on the conservative ticket gets my vote.
