FEC records only cover contributions over a certain amount. Anything smaller doesn't have to be reported.
Thanks. I also learned that Illinois does not have party registration of voters—you take out a primary ballot of your choice. Voting in the general—well, that means she voted, but not who she voted for.
She strikes me as Dem. Maybe she voted in the 2008 primary to help elect the person the Dems wanted to beat. This is Chicago after all, and she seems very easily led.
