DescriptionComptroller Daniel Hynes says he has built up a campaign bankroll of $3.5 million as he considers running for governor.

Hynes said Monday that he raised about $900,000 during the first half of 2009.

That’s comparable to incumbent Gov. Pat Quinn’s $860,000.

But Hynes started out with far more in his fund. As a result, he has $3.5 million available, compared to $700,000 for Quinn.

A third possible Democratic candidate, Jack Franks, had $458,000 available. That’s after raising $1.3 million, most of it from himself or from relatives.

Among the Republican candidates who have reported, Sen. Bill Brady leads the money race with $410,000 on hand.
