Illinois Republicans are outspending Democrats in upcoming legislative races thanks to money from Rauner
Governor Bruce Rauner is giving massive amounts of money to Republican state house and senate candidates in the upcoming November election, vastly outspending the Democrats. The main campaign committee has given more than $13 million to GOP candidates so far and still has another $3 million from Rauner left. “This is a new ball game, and we’re taking it very seriously,” Democratic state rep Barbara Flynn Currie told the Associated Press.
