With Illinois not in play in the presidential contest, Gov. J.B. Pritzker has emerged as one of the biggest donors to the Democratic Party of Wisconsin - in a crucial battleground state that could help tip the White House to Donald Trump or Joe Biden.
Better late than never, the Biden campaign finally released the name of top fundraisers on Saturday night, folks who collected at least $100,000 to boost Biden's bid.
The rankings total contributions from couples and dependent children to federal candidates, parties, political action committees and other political organizations, such as super PACS, as of Oct. 23.
On top of their federal spending, as of Sunday, Pritzker has put $58.2 million of his own money in his tax campaign with Griffin throwing in at least $53 million to fight the change.
Quentin Fulks, Pritzker's top political adviser said, "Wisconsin is the closest battleground state in the Midwest" and Pritzker "Wanted to ensure that Trump did not win there."
Pritzker in 2020 also gave to many state legislative candidates and $100,000 to the abortion rights Personal PAC. BIDEN BUNDLERS FINALLY REVEALED: Top fundraisers who work their networks to raise political cash from other people are known as bundlers.
Biden bundlers include: Penny Pritzker, former Obama Commerce Secretary; Valerie Alexander, who comes out of the Bill and Hillary Clinton political orbit; and Marcia Balonick listed on behalf of JACPAC, where she is the executive director of the Highland Park based Joint Action Committee for Political Affairs.
