Who raised what, from the state’s own filings.

• Aaron B. Del Mar: This is the running mate's own account. The ticket's governor candidate's committee is listed under governor, separately.
• Carolyn Schofield: This is the running mate's own account. The ticket's governor candidate's committee is listed under governor, separately. The SBE lists this committee as closed (final report covering through 2023-01-11); no D-2 since.

• Ram Villivalam: Matched to the SBE's campaign-disclosure record "Villivalim, Ram" (same first name, last name differs by one letter or two swapped letters).
• Jared Ploger: The SBE's campaign-disclosure records have no 2026 general-election entry for this candidate; the committee is the one linked to the SBE's candidate record for the same office and district.

• Shantel Franklin: Matched to the SBE's campaign-disclosure record "Franklin, Shantel" (same last name; SBE record has no district).
• John "JZ" Zimmers: The SBE's campaign-disclosure records have no 2026 general-election entry for this candidate; the committee is the one linked to the SBE's candidate record for the same office and district.
• Rhys Read: 1 D-2 report(s) on file, the latest for 2026-07-01 to 2026-09-30 (received 2026-10-09, on paper), have no totals in the SBE's D2Totals file yet, so they are not counted. The SBE's campaign-disclosure records have no 2026 general-election entry for this candidate; the committee is the one linked to the SBE's candidate record for the same office and district.
• Chris Metcalfe: The SBE lists this committee as closed (final report covering through 2024-12-31); no D-2 since.

• Republican State Senate Campaign Committee: Its statement of organization describes it as the legislative caucus committee set up by the Senate Minority Leader. The other three caucus committees could not be told apart from other committees in the SBE's bulk files and are not listed.

How to read this

Figures are the SBE's own D-2 report totals, summed by us over every quarterly report from Jan. 1, 2025 to Sept. 30, 2026 (one version of each quarter: amended reports replace the reports they amend), so they cover the run-up to the March 17 primary and the general election together. Illinois candidate committees are ongoing and not tied to one election, so money raised in 2025 for other purposes is included. Raised excludes loans and money left from before 2025; loans are shown on their own. Cash on hand is the committee's ending funds on its latest report; investments are reported apart and not included. Raised minus spent will not equal cash on hand, because each committee started 2025 with its own balance. The governor and lieutenant governor run on one ticket, and each running mate's own committee is listed separately; they are never added together. The candidate list is the SBE's list of active general-election candidates (for governor, the national race file), matched to the SBE's campaign-disclosure records by name. Party and caucus committees are not candidates and are never added to candidate figures. A committee's money says nothing about how it was raised or spent beyond what the reports show.

Raised, spent and cash on hand are different measures from the same reports and are never added together. Loans are shown on their own and are not counted as money raised. Periods differ between accounts when committees file on different schedules.

What is not here yet

• Figures run through Sept. 30, 2026. Money raised or spent after that is not in any total; A-1 reports filed since list contributions of $1,000 or more only, and their amounts were not added (Receipts.txt, 1.07 GB, was not pulled).
• D-2 totals do not separate a candidate's own contributions from other individuals' contributions; the itemized receipts (Receipts.txt) would, and were not pulled. The dates of any documents the SBE lists as a 'Notification of Self Funding' are kept in our data file; those documents were not read.
• Independent expenditures by other committees for or against these candidates are not in any candidate's figures.
• The SBE's list of every filed report (FiledDocs.txt, about 143 MB) is kept only as an extract of the rows for the committees read; the full file's size and checksum are recorded with our raw files. The SBE's committee and report search pages block automated requests and were not read, so each figure is from the bulk files, not checked against a report page.
• The candidates are those on our Illinois candidate list (Illinois State Board of Elections, Candidate Filing Search, General Election 11/3/2026: candidate data file (tab-delimited), status Active), and for governor the tickets in our national race file. Each was matched to the SBE's campaign-disclosure candidate record by office, district and last name; that is a name match, and the few looser matches are marked on each account.
• Only the state party committees and one self-described caucus committee are listed. The House Democratic, House Republican and Senate Democratic caucus committees could not be identified from the bulk files alone; county, ward and township party committees and PACs are not covered.
• The SBE's campaign-disclosure files have 19 2026 general-election candidate records for these offices that match no one on the candidate list (for example people no longer on the ballot, or a second record for the same person). They are kept in our data file without figures and are not shown here.
• On the ballot list but with no SBE campaign-disclosure candidate record found: Vince Romano (state senator 8); Tom Lally (state senator 9); Laura Hruska (representative in the general assembly 2); Pete Donaghue (representative in the general assembly 18); David A. Dewar (representative in the general assembly 35); Cesar A. Guillen (representative in the general assembly 39); Julian-Jahleel Randolph Jemison (representative in the general assembly 78). Their figures are blank, not zero.
• Reports listed in FiledDocs that have no totals in D2Totals yet are not counted; each affected account says so: Rhys Read.
• No candidate committee is linked in the SBE's records for: Aaron B. Del Mar. Their figures are blank.
• The reports of 7 accounts do not tie out as filed (a report's beginning funds differ from the previous report's ending funds, or its beginning funds plus receipts minus expenditures differ from its ending funds): Christine McGovern; Dan Ugaste; Douglas Fagan; Elgie R. Sims, Jr.; Illinois Republican Party; Kermit Thomas; Rosetta "Rosie" Brown. The figures are the SBE's as filed; each difference, some of a fraction of a cent, is listed in our data file. We did not establish why.
• For Rosetta "Rosie" Brown, the SBE's list of filed reports treats one report as the current version while its totals file marks that report's totals as replaced, and no other version is current. That report is counted.
• Some SBE figures carry fractions of a cent as filed (13 accounts, for example Charlie Meier, Christine McGovern, Erica Harriss). Our data file keeps them as filed; this page shows them rounded to the cent.
