Northbrook's Top GOP Presidential Campaign Contributors

NORTHBROOK, IL — Illinois voters will take to the polls March 15 to cast their ballots for the presidential nomination in each party.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio has raised $833,727 in individual donations in the state, according to publicly available contribution data from the Federal Election Commission.

Here’s how much the other Republican candidates have taken in from Illinoisians:

• Texas Sen. Ted Cruz — $676,155
• Neurosurgeon Ben Carson — $583,381
• Ohio Gov. John Kasich — $274,626
• Donald Trump — $47,847

Nationally, Carson leads the way, followed by Cruz, Rubio, Trump and Kasich.

Those numbers, though, are a bit misleading.

While the campaigns have raised plenty of money through individual contributions, Super PACs have poured tons of money to support campaigns as well.

Outside groups have raised $46,726,605 for Cruz, $13,807,549 for Carson, $34,313,903 for Rubio, $6,729,311 for Kasich and $1,894,509 for Trump, according to OpenSecrets.
