Findings

Things worth a look on the 2026 candidates' campaign reports, checked against the Illinois Election Code. Each one quotes the rule it rests on and says what to check, including exceptions the reports can't show. They're prompts to look closer at public records, not conclusions.

In 2026, 67 of 321 candidates have something worth a look on their reports.

$1,560 in rent, mortgage or utility payments to the candidate, family or their home

Campaign money can't pay expenses relating to a personal residence. These payments describe rent, a mortgage or utilities and went to the candidate, a family member, or the candidate's home address on file with the State Board of Elections.

What to check

A campaign office rented at fair market value in a separate property the candidate owns is a different question from their home; the reports don't say which.
Security for the candidate's home is allowed when their public duties make it necessary.

1 source gave more than the contribution limit ($22,800 over in all)

A candidate's committee may accept only so much from one source in an election cycle: in 2025–26, $7,300 from an individual, $14,600 from a corporation, union or association, and $72,800 from a PAC or another candidate's committee. The most over: Carpentry Advancement Political Action Committee gave $95,600 in the general cycle, against a limit of $72,800 for a PAC or candidate committee.

What to check

Excess returned to the source (or given to charity) within 30 days of the Board's notice isn't a violation; a refund the committee listed under another name or purpose isn't subtracted here.
Two different people with the same name and ZIP code would be added together.

Worth a look Missing details · Neil Anderson State Senator District 47

12 payments ($11,802) with no purpose given, $11,802 of it to the candidate or family

Every itemized payment on a report must say what it was for. These leave it blank. Payments to the candidate or their family are allowed only as pay for work they did, so a payment to them with no purpose is worth asking about.

What to check

The committee may have amended the report to add the purposes.
Whether each payment is a reimbursement, pay for work, repayment of a loan the candidate made to the campaign, or something else.
