This article presents results of a study of the impact of money on Chicago city council elections in 1991 and 1995 Chicago, with its reputation for strong party organizations, would be the last place most people would expect to find campaign expenditures playing an important role To our surprise, however, the results of the analysis indicate that campaign spending is related to candidates' vote share Even Chicago, it seems, has not escaped the trend toward cash-based, candidate-centered campaigns.
