The Illinois Campaign for Political Reform says
most of those candidates ultimately did file reports with the State
Board of Elections. Still, the late-filing candidates could be hit
with fines.
Among those filing late were Chicago mayoral candidates Carol
Moseley Braun and Miguel del Valle (del VAH'-yay).
About three dozen candidates still haven't filed.
One of the candidates who missed the Jan. 20 deadline was Dan Proft,
who sought the Republican nomination for Illinois governor last
year.
When he did file, his report showed a single donation of $500,000.
The money came from a donor who earlier gave Proft $165,000.
