Pritzker’s contributions to Dem committees now total $5.7 million since May
Monday, Jul 9, 2018 - Posted by Rich Miller * Illinois Election Data automatically texts me whenever a campaign committee files an A-1 of $100,000 or more. Here are the last four such texts I received…
All of those contributions were made by JB Pritzker’s gubernatorial campaign. It’s part of his “Blue Wave Illinois” initiative that I told you about in May. Democratic Majority is controlled by Speaker Madigan. SDVF is Senate President John Cullerton’s committee. Democratic Heartland is a committee designed to benefit Downstate Dems and is overseen by Sen. Scott Bennett of Champaign. Pritzker has now contributed about $5.7 million to those and other committees since late May. The Rock Island County Democratic Party, run by Doug House, received a million bucks from Pritzker in May. House also chairs the Illinois Democratic County Chairs’ Association and the money is supposed to be used to build a grass roots operation outside of Cook County. So far, though, the RICO Dems haven’t reported any significant contributions to others.

“You’re right, I did lose a million dollars last year. I expect to lose a million dollars this year. I expect to lose a million dollars *next* year. You know, Mr. Thatcher, at the rate of a million dollars a year, I’ll have to close this place in… 60 years.”
