The Peoria mayoral race this year is ramping up and fundraising has reached the six-figure realm, with newcomer Jason Beck’s coffers overflowing compared with former city councilmember Bridget Binsbacher.
Although Beck’s campaign finance receipts exceed Binsbacher, about half of his reported funds are coming from his personal pocketbook while Binsbacher has received donations from individuals and political action committees supporting her campaign.
So far, Beck’s receipts in this election have reached $243,289, compared with Binsbacher’s, at $98,150.
