Rahm Emanuel Has Already Raised $10 Million for Re-Election Bid

Big money is already flowing into the Chicago mayoral race, more than half a year away from election day. Incumbent Rahm Emanuel, who’s seeking a third term, has already managed to net more than $10 million in his campaign coffers, more than five times the amount raised by his 10 challengers combined. Next in line is former Police Board President Lori Lightfoot, who has raised $510,000, followed by former CPS CEO Paul Vallas, with $445,000, and Gary McCarthy with $425,000. (Chicago Tribune)
