Have you ever wondered how much it costs to run for Congress? Well, it isn't cheap.
Figures recently released show Bobby Schilling, who lost to Cheri Bustos for representative for Illinois' 17th District, spent less than his challenger.
Still, Schilling shelled out more than $4.5 million.
Bustos ended up spending just over $4.6 Million.
Bustos beat Schilling by more than 6 points. She will be sworn in January 3rd.
