Connecting the Cash: Cook County State's Attorney's Race

Of the four candidates for Cook County State's Attorney (yeah, there's one Republican - who knew?), current SA Anita Alvarez still leads in campaign contributions with a total of $720,073* cash on hand. Kim Foxx is giving Alvarez a run for her money, though, with a total of $388,429 in her campaign coffers. 

Donna More trails not too far behind with a total of $221,855*, though it should be noted that her campaign currently owes More $250,000 for a loan made in December of 2015. The Republican challenger, Christopher Pfannkuche, currently has $7,509* in the bank, with a debt of $25,000 from personal loans to the campaign.

Since June 3rd, when Foxx originally formed her PAC, she has raised a total of $538,556. In that same time, Alvarez has raised $734,860, and More has raised $584,083.
