Former Chicago Public Schools CEO Paul Vallas also gets a boost from a few wealthy contributors.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot and wife Amy Eshleman wave to the crowd at the Pride Parade in Chicago on June 26, 2022.
Setting aside Wilson’s loan, Lightfoot raised more money overall than any of her declared opponents, according to the latest campaign finance records released late Friday. Her main campaign committee, Lightfoot for Chicago, took in more than $1.2 million between April and June and she spent one-third of that, $426,000, much of it on strategists and consultants. She started the quarter with $1.7 million in the bank.
Wilson’s campaign fund is the largest at this point among those who have announced their intention to run against Lightfoot, though campaign records show he only raised $33,000 from others in the second quarter of 2022. In April, Wilson contributed $5 million of his own money to the Willie Wilson for Mayor campaign fund. His previously largest loan to the fund was $200,000 in 2018.
