Miller raised $39,000.00 from Trump donors

CHICAGO (Sunday, February 1, 2026)--The vast majority of the funds Donna Miller raised for her congressional campaign in Illinois’ 2nd District in the fourth quarter of 2025 came from donors who have a history of giving to Donald Trump or the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), according to her quarterly filing with the Federal Election Commission posted Saturday night.

Miller, a Cook County Commissioner, reported raising $39,000.00 from Trump donors in the fourth quarter. A full listing of those donors is available here. 

She also reported raising at least $875,350.92 in the fourth quarter (83% of her total) from donors who have given to AIPAC or its affiliated super PAC, the United Democracy Project, since 2023. A full listing of those donors is available here. 

This represents a massive spike in fundraising for Miller, who prior to this quarter, had reported raising only $242.494.02. During the previous quarter, Miller reported only $250 from a single Trump donor, and $750 from a single AIPAC donor. 

“Donna Miller should be honest with the voters of the 2nd Congressional District about who is funding her campaign–and why,” said Robert Peters campaign manager Matthew Fisch. “Right wing forces have apparently decided that Donna Miller is their best investment in this race. That should be a red flag for every voter as Trump wreaks havoc on our communities.”

State Sen. Robert Peters has raised $903,000 from more than 30,000 individual grassroots donors overall since entering the race in May 2025. He is supported by Sen. Bernie Sanders, Rep. Delia Ramirez, Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, the Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC and more.
