IL-10 Roundup
Seals
$301407.61
$68868.52
$498872.72
Good take–and relatively low spending.
Footlik
$193243.88
$53060.97
$414018.59
KIrk
$525465.19
$138020.28
$1509754.74Lot’s of PAC money in there to look through.
Kirk has great numbers, but so do the combined Seals-Footlik numbers. Seals needed a good quarter to demonstrate he was the favorite and he pulled it off. His cash is far more local than Footlik, but that’s expected. Both kept their spending in check too.
Obama Puts Hold on von Spakovsky
You only have the power if you use it Senator Reid
And kudos for doing it publicly.
Roskam Numbers
Now that he has a serious challenger
$147,000 Raised
$75,000 spent
$610,000 on hand
That’s pretty decent especially given the hard time many Republicans are having raising cash.
McMenamin Pulls in 70K
Not amazing or anything, but sort of out of no where. He’s from Springfield and is running in IL-19. Some of it is General Election money to pump up the totals, but it’s pretty clear this is just a ramp up.
I’m not jumping for joy, but he’s one to keep an eye out for if he can build on the quarter.
Note to candidates whining about not being able to raise cash: ask this guy.
IL-14: Piss Poor Numbers Save Foster
Laesch
$45,000 Raised
$30,000 Spent
$20,000 On hand
Stein
$61,000 raised
$38,000 Spent
$61,000 on hand
$33,000 in debt (probably not being repaid so irrelevant)
Foster
$209,000 Raised
$105,000 Spent
$407,000 On hand
$200,000 in debt (not being repaid)
Foster has at least 2 mailings in the expenditures too.
Lauzen hasn’t filed, but claims to be around $200,000 which is okay–given he’s a sitting State Senator, it seems a bit low, but it is the ramp up quarter.
To Sum UP
6245 S. Archer Houses
Dan Lipinski’s District Office
Blue Chip Consulting Run by William Lipinski
State Rep Robert Molaro’s State Office
Bill Lipinski’s All-American Eagles state PAC
Alderman Mike Zalewski has his government office at 6247 S. Archer
Hurckes is paid out of 2 if not 3 of the above. That must be some interesting work to avoid doing any political work in the wrong chair depending upon who is paying.
Even Better
Constantine worked for State Representative Robert A Molara who has a District Office at…
6245 South Archer Avenue. Busy place.
A Coinquidink
Political Consulting for Lipinski staff is pretty common. You might remember Anthony R. Constantine on Lipinski’s staff promising to do some work for Bill Scheuer in gathering signatures last cycle. The same Anthony R. Constantine works for Lipinski’s office having earned about $40,000 last year.
Constantine ran for Library Trustee in Oak Lawn as well-where Hurckes is a Trustee
And Leonard DeClue who challenged the Keyes residency was appointed to the Oak Lawn Fair Housing Commission upon which Hurckes also sits.
