La Grange's Top Republican Presidential Campaign Contributors

See who in La Grange is contributing to Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, John Kasich and Ben Carson.

La Grange, 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 in contributions, followed by Cruz, Rubio, Trump and Kasich.

But those numbers are a bit misleading. While the campaigns have raised plenty of money through individual contributions, Super PACs have poured in 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.
