Connecting the Cash: Dunkin vs. Stratton
It's looking like a Super PAC vs. Union matchup in one of the most closely watched primary races of this election cycle, which has already seen over $1.4 Million in spending.
The battle is for the 5th State House District, where Democratic incumbent Ken Dunkin is facing a challenge from Juliana Stratton, the former Executive Director of the Cook County Justice Advisory Council. Dunkin made news last year when he missed a
crucial vote to override a gubernatorial veto
, and again when he
voted no to restore funding
for childcare subsidies.
Stratton,
who has been endorsed
by Democrat power players such as Karen Lewis, Toni Preckwinkle, and Secretary of State Jesse White, is expected to make a strong challenge with significant financial support from organized labor.
Ken Dunkin's
interesting
year has won him financial support from donors and committees traditionally aligned with Governor Rauner and the Republican party.
Dunkin started 2016 with $226,000 in his campaign committee, but has since received a $500,000
donation
(an amount believed to be a record for a single donation to a General Assembly race) from the
Illinois Opportunity Project, a 501(c)4 organization
led by former Republican gubernatorial candidate Dan Proft.
In addition to the funds contributed directly to Dunkin's campaign committee, a Super PAC is independently spending money supporting him.
IllinoisGO was seeded with $9 million in April of 2015 by just five donors. As an independent expenditure committee (Super PAC), IllinoisGO is prohibited by law from coordinating with any candidate, but can spend unlimited funds in support or opposition to whomever they choose.
So far, IllinoisGO has spent a total of $338,000
on field work, mailings and television ads on behalf of the Dunkin campaign.

Stratton's campaign got a much later start and is playing catch-up in the fundraising department.
She began the year with $70,000 in the bank, largely from organized labor donations.
She has since raised over $318,000
more including almost $140,000 from AFSCME, $100,000 from SEIU and $50,000 from the Chicago Regional Council of Carpenters. So far no independent expenditure committees have spent money on her behalf, although
IllinoisGO has spent $36,000 on ads against her.
Funds Supporting Juliana Stratton
This race will likely be the most expensive legislative primary this year
and may break spending records for the most expensive General Assembly race in Illinois history.
*Donations since 1/1/16 includes only contributions over $1,000 per State Board of Elections reporting requirements.
