Gov. JB Pritzker deposits $25.5M of his own money into campaign fund as he ramps up bid for third term – Chicago Tribune*

Nevertheless, the $25.5 million total represents a smaller down payment than Pritzker, who is eyeing a potential White House bid in 2028, had made by this point in his two previous races for governor. In those races, Pritzker ended up spending a combined $350 million to oust one-term Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner in 2018 and fend off a challenge from then-GOP state Sen. Darren Bailey in 2022.

JB trying to buy another election. There should be caps on donations from PACs and candidates. Pritzker only represents criminals, illegals, and identity politics members. Vote him out.

He’ll run his smear campaign against the strongest Republican candidate so he’ll run against the weakest candidate like he did in the last election!!

So.. the average person/ corporation/ PAC can only legally give X amount to a candidate, as it should be. But deep pocketed candidates can spend a limitless amount to get elected? It reminds me of George Steinbrenner buying the World Series.

Where is this money coming from? There has to be some justification and profit motive. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was making g hundreds of millions off of his corrupt relationship with Illinois.

You mean like the Chinese battery plant or from the 1.4 million in gambling winnings from the same casino building in Illinois?

Now, now. The battery plant with direct ties to the Chinese government will create lots and lots of jobs Americans need. Pritzger merely had an astonishing run of luck at cards. To question this makes you a racist, Nazi, Trumper or member of the Confederacy. Clearly , you’ve passed on the Big Gulp of blue Kool Aid that many IL residents ingest on a daily basis.
