Illinois Democratic Gubernatorial candidates, from left, Robert Marshall, Bob Daiber, J.B. Pritzker, Daniel Biss, Chris Kennedy and Tio Hardiman participated in a forum with the Chicago Sun-Times Editorial Board Wednesday, Jan. 17, 2018 in Chicago. The race for Illinois governor cost more than $28 million just in the last three months of 2017 _ for an election in November. Campaign finance disclosures filed this week show 90 percent of the spending was by Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and the leading Democratic challenger, Chicago businessman J.B. Pritzker. The cost of the race could easily surpass the $112 million spent four years ago and eclipse the national record.(Rich Hein/Chicago Sun-Times via AP)
