Quinn, Simon Raise $5.1M in Election Bid
CHICAGO (AP) -- Gov. Pat Quinn's campaign says he and his running mate raised a combined $5.1 million during the first half of the year for their election bid.

Republican Bill Brady announced last week he had raised $3.6 million during the same period.

Quinn's campaign said Monday they had nearly $2.3 million in the bank as of June 30. That's about the same amount of money Brady, a state senator from Bloomington, said he had available.

Quinn, a Democrat, is running for a full term of his own after replacing Rod Blagojevich when lawmakers ousted him from office. His lieutenant governor running mate is Sheila Simon, the daughter of the late Sen. Paul Simon.

His campaign says financial disclosure forms will be filed Tuesday with the State Board of Elections.
