Millionaire businessman Willie Wilson on Tuesday loaned his mayoral campaign another $1 million, bringing to $6 million the share of his personal fortune he has devoted to unseating incumbent Mayor Lori Lightfoot.
As Lightfoot and her challengers hit the street on the first day to circulate nominating petitions, Wilson told the Sun-Times he is prepared to spend another $3 million on the race — for a grand total of $9 million — if that’s what it takes to defeat the embattled incumbent he endorsed in 2019.
