ELMHURST, IL \u2013 The Republican and Democratic candidates for the Elmhurst-based state House seat have a long way to go with fundraising. <\/p>\n
At the end of the last quarter, Republican Dennis Reboletti, Addison Township’s supervisor, and Democrat Marti Deuter, an Elmhurst alderwoman, had $25,539 and $31,244, respectively, in their accounts, according to Illinois Board of Elections records. <\/p>\n
In the last quarter, Reboletti raised $22,550 to Deuter’s $5,637. <\/p>\n Unlike most House districts, District 45 is considered an election battleground. In recent years, both parties have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in the district’s races.<\/p>\n In 2022, Elmhurst Democrat Jenn Ladisch Douglass edged out Republican Deanne Mazzochi. Last fall, Ladisch Douglass decided against running for a second term.<\/p>\n In the last quarter, the contributions to the two campaigns came mostly from individuals and small businesses. In the fall, most of the money is likely to come from party organizations.<\/p>\n Reboletti’s donors include Noel Talluto, an Elmhurst alderwoman who gave $250 last month. <\/p>\n Over the last decade, Talluto has contributed to Republicans, totaling more than $10,000, elections board records show. Among the recipients are Mazzochi and former Gov. Bruce Rauner.<\/p>\n District 45 includes nearly all of Elmhurst and parts of Hinsdale, Clarendon Hills and Westmont, among other towns. <\/p>\nFind out what's happening in Elmhurstwith free, real-time updates from Patch.<\/h2>\n
