SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — 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 that 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.”
