CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Family feuds brewing among Dems, GOP alike. A tussle for control of key state party seats is heating up among Illinois Democrats. Meanwhile on the Republican side, a billionaire donor has cut a big check to a gubernatorial candidate—but no, we’re not talking Griffin and Irvin. – Greg Hinz
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/juice/illinois-democrats-battle-state-party-seats-gop-donor-uihlein-funds-darren-bailey-crains
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Meanwhile, the battle of the rich guys continues in the race for governor. But this one isn’t between Citadel’s Ken Griffin and Pritzker but between Griffin and fellow conservative GOP businessman Dick Uihlein. Uihlein, the Lake Forest resident whose family runs Wisconsin-based shipping and office supplies company Uline, just ponied up another $2.5 million for candidate Darren Bailey, the distinctly conservative state senator from Southern Illinois whom many consider to be the main opponent in the GOP gubernatorial primary to Griffin-backed Richard Irvin. With that $2.5 million in hand, Bailey almost certainly will be on TV until the primary—not as often as Irvin, mind you, but still up. That will thrill Team Pritzker, which quite probably would rather run this fall against Bailey than Irvin. Maybe that will help them forget another interesting contribution: $1,000 from governor’s cousin, Jennifer Pritzker, to Irvin. Nothing like a good family feud.)
