Although Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss hasn’t found McHenry County Blog in his campaign to succeed Jan Schakowsky as Algonquin Township’s Member in Congress, he has raised a bundle in his first day on the campaign trail.
From Politico:
“SCOOP: Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss raised $350,000 in the first 24 hours of announcing his bid to run for Congress in the seat now held by retiring Rep. Jan Schakowsky. ‘We’re building a movement to not only take on Donald Trump and MAGA extremists, but to deliver real change to lower costs, defend the environment, and protect our fundamental rights. This amazing early support makes it clear that people are ready to fight for a future that works for everyone, not just the wealthy and well-connected,’ Biss said in a statement announcing the fundraising numbers.
