With voting already started, Republican mega donor Richard Uihlein poured another $13.9 million into his quest to defeat Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker, with the cash to the anti-Pritzker People Who Play By the Rules PAC coming as state campaign finance records show lackluster fundraising by GOP nominee Darren Bailey.
Uihlein is the Lake Forest executive who, with his wife, Elizabeth, runs the Wisconsin-based Uline products distribution company. They are major donors — through a family foundation, state and federal political action committees and direct donations to political campaigns — to conservative candidates and causes across the nation.
