Although Darin Bailey undoubtedly is leading in the polls for the Republican nomination for Governor, Ted Dombrowski is way ahead in fundraising.
From a Friend of McHenry County Blog:
How much money did gubernatorial candidates raise?
DuPage County Sheriff James Mendrick started the quarter with $100,588.50.
He raised $35,237 and spent $74,986.71.
Mendrick has $60,838.79 remaining.
Mendrick spent about 40 thousand more than he took in.
And lots of that was on staff.
Next up is Ted Dabrowski of WirePoints.
He has $1,494,822.
That is over 24 times as much money as Mendrick has.
Then there is Darren Bailey who didn’t have a good quarter.
He has $23,099.44. Recently, however, former gubernatorial candidate Gary Rabine wrote Bailey a check for $30,000.
Max Solomon has about 5 thousand dollars.
Joseph Severino had not filed a quarterly report.
JB Pritzker raised $1,593.32 but spent a $1,760,236.27 leaving him with $661,383.19.
He started the quarter with $2,420,026.14.
He is burning through his money, but he still has over 10 times what Mendrick or Bailey have.
