Gov. Rauner Has Over $19 Million In His Campaign Fund

People

Gov. Bruce Rauner has more than $19 million in his campaign fund after the most recent fundraising quarter.
The Springfield bureau of Lee Enterprises newspapers reports Rauner received $15,000 from three contributors over the three-month quarter ending Oct. 1. That money came from three contributors: Anheuser-Busch, Kraft and a political action committee for certified public accountants.

Rauner spent $91,000 from the account with the largest amount going to a law firm for legal consulting services.

The governor also has a Turnaround Illinois political action committee. It reported having $2.4 million on June 30 with no reported fundraising since then.

Rauner campaign spokeswoman Sarah Clamp says Rauner ``is focused on reforming state government and passing a balanced budget.''
