January 23rd, 2008 at 01:37pm Aaron Chambers
Rep. Dave Winters, R-Shirland, finished last year with $28,011.90 on hand after raising $27,952.81 and spending $21,198.03. Winters faces two challengers in the Nov. 4 general election, so watch for him to step up fundraising in the coming year.
Winters’ biggest contributions include:
| Associated Beer Distributors of Illinois PAC | 100 W Cook St Springfield, IL 62705 |
$1,500.00 12/31/2007 |
| Chem-Pac | 9801 W Higgins Road Suite 515 Rosemont, IL 60018 |
$1,000.00 9/27/2007 |
| Illinois Hospital & Health Systems | 1151 E Warrenville Rd Naperville, IL 60566 |
$1,000.00 9/6/2007 |

$1,000.00 12/31/2007 |
| Nordloff, Richard Occupation: CEO Employer: MTE Hydraulics Inc. |
4701 Kishwaukee St. Rockford, IL 61109 |
$1,000.00 8/27/2007 |

$1,000.00 12/13/2007 |
| Larson & Darby | 4940 Harrison Avenue Rockford, IL 61108 |
$1,000.00 8/30/2007 |
The challengers are Democrat Clint Little, a Loves Park alderman, and Gerry Woods of the Green Party.
Little has not registered his campaign fund with the State Board of Elections. He told me Wednesday that he will not start fundraising until after the Feb. 5 primary election.
“I’m going to start everything after the primary,” he said. “And even that’s going to be limited (fundraising) because I’m going to watch who I take money from. I think that’s half of the problem, half of what’s wrong with our government as a whole. I haven’t really been doing a lot with the lobbyists or different organizations.”
He added, “I usually raise a lot of the funds out of my own pocket. I’m going to be very selective who I take money from.”
Woods also has not registered a campaign fund with the state. I could not reach Woods.
UPDATE 1
Winters responded to Little’s fundraising plan: “That’s good to hear. We hadn’t heard much out of him.”

Rod’s reelection and the subsequent Green plurality will really help Winters out. The ‘Greens’ are going to split the vote.
