Less than a year out from the Democratic primary, former state Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias reported having roughly $3 million in the bank for his bid to succeed outgoing Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White five times as much as City Clerk Anna Valencia, whose own fund raising puts her second in the battle for campaign contributions.
Giannoulias reported raising $859,312.64 during the quarter that ended June 30, giving him $2,915,761.69 cash on hand, according to a campaign finance report filed Thursday, hours before the deadline.
Since the end of June, the former U.S. Senate candidate reported raising another $91,900 giving him a little over $3 million in his campaign coffers in what’s expected to be a hotly contested race.
