Democrat Greg Tuite has roughly three times as much money in his campaign fund as Rep. Ron Wait, R-Belvidere. Tuite challenged Wait in 2006, nearly taking him out.

From the State Board of Elections, here are the vote totals from 2006:

BOONE 8091 7266
DeKALB 1702 1215
WINNEBAGO 10689 10618

This year, Tuite is challenging Wait again.
