•6th District: Freshman Republican Rep. Peter Roskam of Wheaton had $967,286 left while Democratic challenger Jill Morgenthaler of Des Plaines had $127,304.
•10th District: Rep. Mark Kirk of Highland Park had $2.2 million after raising $627,000 since mid-January, while Democratic challenger Dan Seals had $745,000 left after collecting about $513,000.
•11th District: Democratic state Sen. Debbie Halvorson of Crete said she raised more than $581,000 and had nearly $682,000 left. The Republicans are looking for a replacement candidate for the seat being vacated by Rep. Jerry Weller.
•13th District: Republican Rep. Judy Biggert of Hinsdale reported $511,741 left while Democratic challenger Scott Harper of Lockport had $103,463.
•14th District: Newly-elected Democratic Rep. Bill Foster of Geneva had $262,939 compared with $132,717 for Republican Jim Oberweis of Sugar Grove.
At this point in the race, Seals is running incredibly strong and while any challenger will have a cash-on-hand deficit, this is going to be a full out fight with the DCCC and the RNCC (if it has any money) come November.
Halvorson is off to a good start and Harper seems to be doing better than last cycle (I haven’t checked, but he does seem to be running a stronger campaign this time). Morgenthaller is falling flat, probably due to her general right wing stance on the war and civil liberties.
