One dude gives $5 million to a single candidate. It’s normal. It’s legal. It shouldn’t be. #CampaignFinanceReform #Politics #USPol #Illinois #JBPritzker #JulianaStratton https://chicago.suntimes.com/elections/2026/01/31/juliana-stratton-jb-pritzker-campaign-contribution-5-million

Pritzker gives $5 million to boost Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton's Senate bid

The billionaire governor's contribution, which was anticipated, was made through a pro-Stratton super PAC and already is being used to run TV ads with just weeks to go in the campaign.

@7sleepersmusic I can't decide if it's better or worse that he's a governor and doing that.

Probably the same. 🤮

@alisynthesis I guess I'm glad he's not MAGA. But I'm pretty sure that $5M came with strings attached, y'know?
