* Click here to see the Liberty Principles PAC A-1.

Uihlein gave Liberty Principles PAC $1.5 million in June. He’s given a total of $17 million to the PAC since 2014. And he’s given Proft’s personal campaign committee another $595K over the years.

…Adding… Uihlein is a bigger GOP sugar daddy than Gov. Rauner…

— 2018 Contributions —

Citizens for Rauner to @ILGOP, @ilhousegop: ~$2.5M

Dick Uihlein to Liberty Principles: ~$8M

…Adding… Gov. Rauner reports raising $411,500. And the House Republicans kicked $500K of their $2 million from Rauner back to the ILGOP, likely for mailers.

Thank you Mr. Uihlein.

Illinois Democratic Party.

Maybe we’ll get lucky and Proft will just retire on the money he has made after Uhlein passes away.

==just keeping up with the union money== How so?

https://illinoissunshine.org/committees/?type=super_pac

Liberty Principles is 5,504,860.66 and INCS, another anti Union Super Pac, is 1,224,564.91. You have to go to line 6 to find a labor Super Pac at 72,108.62

Big Bad…. whenever the anti-union forces have nothing to contribute (usually all the time), they make the false claim about “keeping up with union money”. UGH
