Former Illinois Appellate Court Judge Eileen O’Neill Burke and former Chicago Ald. Bob Fioretti are facing off in Tuesday’s Cook County State’s Attorney race.

O’Neill Burke, a Democrat, is heavily favored to win in a county that regularly has voted for Democrats, but a Fioretti upset could happen if the GOP candidate’s appeal to law and order, compassion for crime victims and reducing Chicago violence resonates more with voters.

The two are competing in the race to replace outgoing State’s Attorney Kim Foxx. Libertarian Andrew Charles Kopinski is also on the ballot in the race. 

Contribution limits have been lifted in the race, and both O’Neill Burke and Fioretti have reported hundreds of thousands of dollars to their campaign committees.

O’Neill Burke won a razor-thin victory in the Democratic primary against Clayton Harris III in March after almost 10 days of ballot-counting after polls closed.

As of Nov. 4, O’Neill Burke has received $51,250 in transfers and strong labor support in the general election campaign season. At least $20,000 was transferred in from the Mid-America Carpenters Regional Council PAC, State Board of Elections data showed.

Fioretti’s campaign committee began the general election campaign season in April with $18,429 on hand.

Since April 1, Fioretti’s committee has reported raising $405,475 as of Nov. 4. However, almost 63 percent of that funding reported has come from just one donor — Vincent Kolber, the chairman of RESIDCO, a downtown-based company that invests in commercial and corporate aircraft, freight engines and rail assets and other transportation capital. 

Since April 1, Kolber has given Fioretti’s campaign $254,877 in direct and in-kind contributions and loans. In-kind contributions were made in the form of email messages, printing costs and food costs, and $152,950 of Kolber’s funds since April have been loans. 

Fioretti’s campaign has also reported a $17,500 individual contribution from law firm Anthony J. Peraica & Associates, a $5,000 donation from Ann and Robert Bettinardi, the latter of which founded the Bettinardi golf equipment company, more than $6,200 from FourStar Wealth Advisors CEO Brian Kasal, $5,000 from the Villa Park-based Supreme Lobster and Seafood and a cumulative $7,000 from Chicago-based Heiderscheidt Law Group.

Fioretti’s committee has also reported a $1,500 transfer from the Cook County Republican Party, a $2,500 transfer from the Stephens Political Action Committee NFP, $2,500 from Republican Cook County Clerk candidate Michelle Pennington’s committee and $2,000 from Rep. Brad Stephens’s (R-Rosemont) committee. 

Kopinski’s committee reported starting and ending the most recent campaign finance reporting quarter, which ended Sept. 30, with no cash on hand and receiving no contributions.
