Money and elections in Illinois 2004
The Illinois State Board of Elections presents its eighth report which summarizes the flow of dollars in political campaigns in Illinois. This report reviews contests in the 2004 election cycle. Again we have attempted to paint the "big picture" in an effort to bring some meaningful analysis to the large sums of money spent to elect candidates to public office in this state. The races covered in this review include contests for Judicial offices and the Illinois General Assembly.
