Alvarez, preparing to launch another television ad in the next couple of days, has collected more than six times as much as Peraica in campaign donations since last winter’s primaries, according to the Illinois State Board of Elections. Between February 5 and October 27, Alvarez raked in at least $1,225,142.35 in cash, in-kind contributions, and transfers from other political organizations. Peraica accepted about $193,813.

Maybe the worst news for Alvarez’s challengers is that she’s still going strong while their cash flows are slowing. In the last week alone she’s reported raising nearly $55,000 to Peraica’s $7,500 and O’Brien’s zilch.
