Ultraconservative megadonor Richard Uihlein has now contributed more than $50 million in an effort to defeat Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker.
Billionaire Ken Griffin had the political world buzzing when he donated $50 million to Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin’s ultimately unsuccessful bid for the Republican governor nomination.
The Play By The Rules PAC reported getting more than $13.9 million from Uihlein on Friday, State Board of Elections records show. With the donation, the PAC run by right-wing radio host Dan Proft of Naples, Florida, has received more than $42 million from Uihlein, including nearly $34 million since Bailey won the June 28 primary.
Proft’s Play By The Rules is an independent expenditure PAC which, by law, cannot coordinate its activities with Bailey. The PAC’s main spending has been for advertising criticizing Pritzer and only occasionally backing Bailey, who has yet to run a general election ad.
