Billionaire Ken Griffin has donated $20 million to the campaign of Illinois Republican gubernatorial candidate and Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin.
Griffin has financed challenges to Democratic Governor JB Pritzker in the past. There had been a lot of speculation over which candidate he would support.,"I appreciate Mr. Griffin's support and the thousands of other donors who have joined our campaign in the first few weeks.
"Richard Irvin is self-made, and his life story epitomizes the American dream. I have tremendous respect for all that he has accomplished. "Richard knows the importance of ending wasteful spending and reducing oppressively high taxes. Illinois taxpayers are tired of sending their hard-earned money to Springfield to be burned in the furnace of waste and corruption. JB Pritzker - beholden to his cronies and political base - is unwilling to address either issue.
