So far this election cycle, Illinois Republicans have far outspent state Democrats in the legislative races.

 

A big chunk of that money coming from Governor Bruce Rauner himself.

 

According to reports from the Associated Press, The first term Republican governor has given sixteen million dollars to a GOP fund in an effort to end Democrats supermajority in both the Senate and House.

 

Thirteen million of Rauner’s sixteen has already been spent.

 

To put that into perspective, that’s already four times what the entire Republican Party Committee spent on all state races in 2012.
