Either tonight or tomorrow if I get too loaded watching the Leader of the Free World.

Spent: $43531.89 Total: $67101.66
COH: $20919.34

Better than Zinga.

Zinga IL-17

by @ Tuesday, January 31st, 2006. Filed under Illinois Congressional Races

Raised: $11312.00
Spent: $7656.90
COH: $5996.75

Not much there


Scott IL-06

by @ Tuesday, January 31st, 2006. Filed under Illinois Congressional Races

Raised: $49770.59 Total: $71280.17
Spent: $17723.03 Total: $22246.61
Loan (from candidate): $30000.00

COH: $79033.56

He’s playing for the short game. The key will be can he continue to raise through the rest of the primary. He’s in a position to have enough for most of what he needs as long as he’s willing to spend that loan.


Jackson IL-02

by @ Tuesday, January 31st, 2006. Filed under Illinois Congressional Races

Raised: $77290.00 Total: $607557.69
Spent: $54395.86 Total: $310732.73
COH: $1,132,084.27

So pay your fricken DCCC dues already!


Weller IL-11

by @ Tuesday, January 31st, 2006. Filed under Illinois Congressional Races

Raised: $236542.68 Total: $904362.23
Spent: $74135.85 Total: $473136.58
COH: $692081.25

$5,000 from the Rely on Your Belief PAC–Roy Blunt’s PAC that is heavily tied into the TRMPAC’s efforts to funnel money to Texas.

Who is Jerry voting for? It came in on 12/30/2005.

Lots of shipping and oil money. I’m sure if you look hard enough there is more fun there.


Johnson IL-15

by @ Tuesday, January 31st, 2006. Filed under Illinois Congressional Races

Not exactly exerting himself here

Raised: $34732.30 Total: $130913.75
Spent: $30161.99 Total: $120549.45
COH: $80022.37

Loan: $69274.88

That’s a secured loan to a bank so he will want to pay it back eventually so Johnson is very slow in fundraising. A decent effort of calls to PACs and you can knock out $70,000 as a sitting Member of Congress.


Laesch IL-14

by @ Tuesday, January 31st, 2006. Filed under Illinois Congressional Races

Raised: $13243.99 Total: $19646.99
Spent: $12725.45 Total: $18366.19
COH: 1280.80

For those fighting about the Laesch-Zamora ballot challenge. Don’t, as of right now neither candidate is close to credible.


Gill IL-15

by @ Tuesday, January 31st, 2006. Filed under Illinois Congressional Races

Raised: $24728.33 Total: $56780.79
Spent: $11462.31 Total: $22751.96
COH: $37735.93

Doing a bit better, but not going to get any attention with that level. Hopefully he can pick it up a bit. I don’t expect a win, but it be nice to take some chinks out of Johnson.


Churchill IL-8

by @ Tuesday, January 31st, 2006. Filed under Illinois Congressional Races

Raised $34762.01
Spent:37047.39
Loan: 98000.00
COH: 95714.62

He’s playing a different game of trying to keep his name recognition out there for supporters and squeak through in a divided primary.


Lipinski IL-03

by @ Tuesday, January 31st, 2006. Filed under Illinois Congressional Races

Raised $82800.00 Total $184600.00
Spent $28345.07 Total $103459.56

On Hand $177811.57

I’m sure there’s some to dig out of it, but notable on the list was a small in-kind of labor from Speaker Madigan, Labor and Chicago Business PACs, and one donation from a notorious polluter, a Holcim manager.


Dan Seals IL-10

by @ Tuesday, January 31st, 2006. Filed under Illinois Congressional Races

Raised: $59763.48
Spent: $5805.06
COH: $53958.42

Decent for a late start up. Not enough to get him much national attention, but enough to build upon.


It’s that time again–Campaign Finance–Cegelis First

by @ Tuesday, January 31st, 2006. Filed under Illinois Congressional Races

Let’s do the 6th first

Raised $68160.92 Raised Total: $228246.04

Spent $77769.65 Total $199761.82

COH At beginning of period $48972.59

COH: $39363.86

I’ve gone over my concerns with this kind of report, but my biggest concern is how do you afford the mail you need at the end of a campaign?


Cegelis Interview

by @ Tuesday, January 31st, 2006. Filed under Illinois Congressional Races

It is coming–I forgot to mention–a bit of a cold and a small car accident last week took up a bit too much time, but I’ll have it up in the next couple days.

Also, Lindy Scott has agreed to do an interview so I’ll have all three candidates which makes me very happy.

Finally, John Sullivan running in the 3rd has also agreed, and I’ll try and schedule that very soon.
