These findings paint a clear picture as to why Chicago voters should vote YES to the Fair Elections ballot question, which calls for a campaign financing system that shuts out the corrupt influence of large donors like the ones dominating this year’s mayoral race, along with elections across the state.

Out-of-city influence also grows with the size of the donation: 60% of the money was from donors who gave $25,000 or more, 80% of the money was from donors who gave $80,000 or more. Not only are large donations almost entirely funding the five mayoral campaigns, but just over half (52%) of the contributions are from people who do not even live in Chicago. That is why we created the Fair Elections campaign to allow more diverse people to run for office and win based on the issues and not who can raise the most money.”

“In response, we need a matching campaign financing system to amplify the voices of every Chicagoan.

“This report demonstrates how Chicago politics is being negatively influenced by big special interests and the super rich,” said Brian Gladstein, Director of Programs and Strategy Common Cause Illinois. What’s more, the top two donors gave more than all of the at least 1,601 small donors combined. Contributions greater than $1,000 account for more than 86% of the money contributed to the five Chicago mayoral candidates, while less than 2% of the money contributed comes from contributions of less than $150. The Illinois PIRG Education Fund’s report found that big donations completely eclipse small donations to the five mayoral campaigns. The need for Chicago’s Fair Elections ballot question was underscored today by a stunning new report detailing the outrageous number of large contributions coming from donors outside Chicago to the city’s mayoral candidates.
