SPRINGFIELD – Campaign spokesperson Kathleen Murphy announced today that the Don Tracy campaign for U.S. Senate ended the third quarter of 2025 with $2,052,251.66 cash on hand, underscoring his position as the front-runner in the Republican primary. With more cash on hand than Democrat candidates Juliana Stratton and Robin Kelly, Tracy is a serious contender in the race to represent Illinois in the US Senate.

“We are just getting started as we ramp up our campaign to defend the American Dream for Illinois working families,” said Tracy. “Illinoisans are ill-served by career politicians and their extreme progressive agendas, and my Democratic opponents would just be more of the same. I will bring strong, common sense leadership to our state and country.”

With more than $2 million already in the bank and an expanding grassroots operation, the Don Tracy campaign is well positioned to support its mission to defend the American Dream by lowering the cost of living for working families, championing common-sense Midwestern values in DC, and representing all of Illinois, not just Chicago.

Don is available for video and phone interviews on this topic, with some availability for in-studio discussions.
