Democratic Party of Illinois
The Democratic Party of Illinois (DPI) is the state arm of the
Democratic National Committee. The DPI is chaired by Michael J.
Madigan, Speaker of the House of Representatives and father of Democratic
Attorney General Lisa Madigan. DPI contributions are all made in
the form of in-kind donations, including dedicated staff time as
well as apportioned costs of generic activities aimed at supporting
Democratic candidates. In the 2002 primary election, DPI contributed
only to endorsed statewide candidates, in races for Attorney General,
Secretary of State, Treasurer and Comptroller. Of those, only the
Attorney General's race was contested.
The Democratic Party of Illinois is a career patron of Governor
Rod Blagojevich (D), Attorney General Lisa Madigan (D), Secretary
of State Jesse White (D), and Comptroller Daniel Hynes (D).
From January 1, 1993 through June 30, 2005, the Democratic Party
of Illinois contributed $16.8 million to candidates for Illinois
statewide constitutional and legislative office, all to Democrats.
Last revised August, 2005.
