Summary
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has donated $5 million to a super PAC supporting the Senate campaign of his lieutenant governor, Juliana Stratton. The super PAC, Illinois Future PAC, raised $6.3 million last year, with Pritzker and his family members contributing nearly the entirety of the funds. Stratton is running in the Democratic primary for an open Senate seat, alongside Reps. Raja Krishnamoorthi and Robin Kelly. The primary elections are scheduled for March 17.
Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
Pritzker’s financial support for Stratton’s campaign follows his endorsement in April. Stratton has stated she will not support Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer as leader in the Senate. Krishnamoorthi has built a significant war chest, pouring $20.5 million into television advertising since July. The Democratic primary for the Senate seat continues, with the election scheduled for March 17. The familiar dance of endorsements, fundraising, and debates unfolds.
