New feature! Data for Chicago aldermanic candidates
Spending power, contributions and expenditures for candidates in all 50 wards
We're continuing on our mission to empower you to be a more informed, engaged voter by arming you with clear, fact-based information. Last week, we introduced the first of our interactive, one-of-a-kind campaign finance tools: the ability to to track spending power, contributions and expenditures of Chicago mayoral candidates.
Here's one more for you. We're proud to announce this same campaign finance data is available for candidates for alderman in all 50 of Chicago's wards. Explore their total spending power, how they've built war chests over time, and see where contributions are coming from. Just like our mayoral candidate data, contribution information is updated continuously.
But we're not done yet. Our next goal is to expand beyond Chicago, to the suburbs, central and southern Illinois. Drop us a line and let us know what Illinois races you'd like to see us track.
If the meantime, if you haven't checked out our data on mayoral candidates yet, dive in now to see how their spending power compares, where their money is coming from, and how they're spending it. It's worth a look, we promise.
