Peoria Pundit

From the State Journal Register:

Democratic candidate Colleen Callahan says she has raised about $250,000 so far for her 18th Congressional District campaign to succeed U.S. Rep. Ray LaHood, R-Peoria.

Callahan, making her first run for elective office, spoke briefly Thursday about her fundraising efforts at a news conference at the AFL-CIO Building in Springfield, where state Comptroller Dan Hynes announced he is endorsing Callahan.

The next Federal Election Commission campaign finance reports, covering the period through Monday, will be available to the public in mid-July. Callahan said she expects to have cash on hand totaling “in the neighborhood” of $130,000 to $140,000.

This time, there’s not even a mention that they tried to reach Aaron Schock. Campaign manager Steve Shearer did all Schock’s talking for him again.
