Crain's Chicago Business reported the fundraising effort is an indication Emanuel will run for office again in February 2015.
John Kupper is a spokesman for the mayor. He says Emanuel is halfway through his first term and "it's time to look ahead."
Emanuel is a former investment banker and White House chief of staff who helped raise money for President Barack Obama's re-election.
He raised more than $14 million for his 2011 mayoral race.
