The race for mayor in Des Plaines was an expensive one, with all three candidates building five-figure war chests for signs, mailers and other campaign needs.
Ultimately, the candidate who raised the most money in the three months leading up to Election Day 8th Ward Alderman Andrew Goczkowski came out on top, state records show.
Candidates for local, county or state offices who raise or spend at least $5,000 must file quarterly financial disclosure reports with the Illinois State Board of Elections. They must also file individual reports for donations of $1,000 or more as they come in.
