How to read the money: Illinois cards show one selected D-2 Quarterly Report per exact office-matching candidate committee. The values are report-period receipts and expenditures plus ending funds and debts from the official September 18 data export. They are not cycle totals. FEC summaries use separate candidate-specific coverage windows through June 30, 2026.
