Clayton Harris III, the Cook County state’s attorney candidate who has the Cook County Democratic Party’s backing in the upcoming March primary, has raised less cash in his campaign committee than his opponent in the upcoming contest. However, both are fundraising far above the Republican in the race.

According to public State Board of Elections data, Harris’s committee has raised at least $311,779 since his committee was formed last summer, as of Jan. 11. That’s at least $44,000 less than what his primary opponent has raised, according to the most recent data.

The campaign committee for Eileen O’Neill Burke, the Democratic state’s attorney candidate who is competing in the primary despite not having her party’s backing, has raised at least $356,050 in individual contributions and transfers since its creation in July, State Board of Elections records show.
