Vallas has $1.3+ million day
Tuesday, Mar 7, 2023 - Posted by Rich Miller * Paul Vallas busted the campaign contribution caps the other day and the money is now rolling in from the high-rollers, according to an A-1 filed late this afternoon. The haul includes $500K from Craig Duchossois, $250K from DRW Holdings’ Donald Wilson and $200K from Madison Dearborn Partners’ James Perry. Then he received $100K each from Citadel’s Gerald Beeson and Matthew Simon, plus the same from DRW Holdings’s Kenneth Brody. And Vallas got $50K each from Ken O’Reilly and Madison Dearborn Partners’ Thomas Souleles. Plus a whole bunch of smaller, 4- and 5-figure contributions.

Look at all those longtime Democratic supporters from Citadel lining up to throw money at Paul Vallas.

Makes one think to the Daley years of pinstripe patronage and the Chicago money folks.
LaSalle Street Loot… a nice lil haul.
That Jesse White ad will get some rotation.

That’s a lot of cheese.

Oh, it’s back, even though the Tribune is now claiming that CTU is the real machine.

Projection is Deflection?

Bob Rivkin is in there, but don’t tell the crazies.

Can’t wait to read the Trib’s editorial stating their concerns about Vallas being beholden to Chicago wealthy finance folks. /s

A whole lot of people ponying up for Vallas v. CTU, it seems.

That’s a damned impressive day. Expected, but still. Wow.

All that “progressive “ support. Snark

So where
was the criticism when
CTU, IFT and AFT collectively gave Johnson the millions he raised for the primary. Strip out the teacher union collective contributions and Johnson raised like $1.99

Use the Google key, check the Tribune…
Anything else?

Each and every one of the donors is certified as a life-long Democrat….

@Sue, the CTU is not some mega corp, those donations are basically crowd funded from teachers, apples oranges, aka false equivalency
- casalcin - Wednesday, Mar 8, 23 @ 10:27 am:
@new here - that’s a super naive take. They are automatic union dues that are directed to a candidate. the CTU is passing around a collection plate

@casalcin
What year are you living in? No CPS teacher has to pay a penny in dues if they do not want to since Janus vs. AFSCME and general dues cannot be directed to a candidate anyways. Union members give additional money voluntarily to their PACs.
