I really did not realize this until about 5 minutes ago that JB pritzker is the richest politician in office right now... I like him but not sure how this makes me feel
🏳️🌈
@duglop I had some reservations when he first ran for office because of his family and personal wealth. He has stood strong for Illinois, took on Trumps idiots during Covid to get IL what it needed. He has continued to do a great job, one of the best Gov I can remember.
I also heard since Blogoyavitch got a pardon hes looking at politics again.
@duglop If it helps the majority of it was given him, inheritance and his part of the larger family wealth (Hyatt hotels)
@Lucky188 yeah I know he's an heir
@Lucky188 I'm from Illinois
We also have Cheri Bustos, Tammy Duckworth Dick Durbin and even Adam Kinzinger
@duglop We also are also where Obama started.
On the Dark side we also have Mary Miller ( "Hitler was right" & "Roe being over turned was a great gift for white women" )
I'm actually in her district - they don't often even have Democrats for that seat.
@Lucky188 sorry am at work, will catch up when I can :)
@Lucky188 oh I already know he's the best governor there is but I'm still not sure how I feel about that wealth
