Emanuel’s top third-term donors, with connections

Ahead of a possible 2019 re-election bid, Mayor Rahm Emanuel continues to rely on key campaign donors who have received City Hall benefits, ranging from contracts and zoning approvals to appointments and personal endorsements from the mayor, the Chicago Tribune has found. So far, Emanuel has collected $3.1 million in high-dollar contributions. And more than $2.1 million of it — or nearly 70 percent — has come from 83 donors who have benefited from actions at City Hall. The Tribune reviewed more than 500 contributions to Emanuel of at least $5,000 made since July 2015. So far, Emanuel can only collect $5,600 from individual donors because state contribution limits still apply. Emanuel’s donors respond
