McKenna Has GOP Edge in Governor Campaign Fundraising
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) -- Republican candidate for governor Andy McKenna raised $2.2 million in the last half of 2009 and spent almost as much.

That's well ahead of any of the other six hopefuls running for the GOP nomination in the Feb. 2 primary.

State Sen. Kirk Dillard raised $1.4 million and spent $1 million. That left him with $369,000 in December at the end of the six-month reporting period.

McKenna had $64,000 on hand.

Jim Ryan -- the 2002 nominee -- had $190,000 after raising $313,000 and spending $123,000.

Candidates Adam Andrzejewski raised $752,000, Robert Schillerstrom raised $661,000, Bill Brady took in $443,000 and Dan Proft collected $169,000
