Lake Forest mega donors Dick Uihlein and his wife Liz have directly contributed more than $6.4 million this election cycle to help pack Congress with Republicans who either cast doubt on the legitimacy of the last presidential election or voted against certifying the results, Federal Election Commission records show.
The couple, prolific GOP donors and founders of the shipping company Uline, are of course attempting to win seats at a pivotal time in American politics — but they are also overwhelmingly fighting to fill those seats with candidates who have played a role in denying the results of the 2020 election, in word or by deed.
