(Springfield, IL) — With a billionaire and a multi-millionaire both in the contest, the race for Illinois governor won’t be cheap. In fact many experts in Springfield say the 2018 race for governor likely will be the most expensive in state history. The 2014 race cost over 110 million-dollars, and the candidates in the 2018 race have already raised 100 million. Money is already an issue, Democrat Ameya Pawar dropped out of the race because he said he couldn’t keep up with fundraising, and Democrat Dan Biss says Illinois voters are facing an ‘auction’ not an election.
