2022 races for state office

Governor and the other statewide offices, the Illinois Senate and the Illinois House: the candidates the State Board of Elections lists for each, what their campaigns raised, and how close the seat was last time (the winner's margin in points; under 10 is highlighted). In the primary list, nominees are in bold.

Races where the Board lifted contribution limits: a candidate told the Board they put more than the law's threshold of their own money in (self-funding), or independent spending in the race passed it. Once limits are off, every candidate in that race can take contributions of any size.
