War Chest After Debate Victory is $500,000 Bigger Thanks to Donation From Conservative Lake Forest Businessman Richard Uihlein
Jeanne Ives came out the victor in the Tribune debate against Governor Rauner for the Republican primary.
You can read a previous post on John Kass’ take on the battle.
Jeanne Ives sent the following email looking for donations from supporters:
The choice is yours.
We can choose to go down the same path of betrayals and broken promises… or we can choose to fight for the future Illinois deserves.
On March 20, I will be challenging Bruce Rauner for the Republican nomination for governor to put the people of Illinois back in charge.
I don’t have the Chicago bosses bankrolling my campaign. I don’t have the D.C. special interests cutting checks for me in exchange for under-the-table deals. And I don’t want them.
The only person I want on my team is YOU.
So today, I’m asking you to make a grassroots contribution before the March primary to put the people of Illinois back in charge of our own future.
CONTRIBUTE $15
CONTRIBUTE $25
CONTRIBUTE $50
CONTRIBUTE $100
CONTRIBUTE $250

Bruce Rauner promised us a political revolution that would clean up Chicago, revive our economy, and restore the rule of law.
But Rauner failed to understand that political revolutions aren’t led by the candidate. They’re led by YOU.

And that’s what our grassroots campaign is all about. People like you. People who have been silenced and shunned. People who feel helpless in our current system. People who simply know that we deserve better.
Your grassroots contribution today will ignite a real political revolution — led NOT by big money or string-pullers in D.C. — but, instead, by you.
Thank you,
State Rep. Jeanne Ives
Conservative Candidate for Governor of Illinois
Do you accept Monopoly money? Stay tuned…tic, tock, tic, tock, tic, tock…
” don’t have the Chicago bosses bankrolling my campaign. I don’t have the D.C. special interests cutting checks for me in exchange for under-the-table deals. And I don’t want them. ”
Maybe because she has Lake Forest Bosses & special interests bankrolling her campaign? It’s amazing I can still be surprised by the double talk of Republicans.
Joek, you really do not know Jeanne Ives, do you? Then you Angel, what can I say, you really need to be stamped “Return To Sender”, if they will have you.
At least Uihlein is an IL business man. She’s not getting contributions from New York like the D’s. She probably has a better shot at becoming governor than the current governor at this point. But what we really need is more republican house and senate members that is the only way to turn it around in IL.
The Mrs, Thank You. Please take a good look at Jeanne Ives, her qualifications are like nothing we have seen for a long time, if ever. You can go to Elect Ives for Governor, or just Jeanne Ives. If we all work together she will have a shot against Rauner.
Ah Joek, like most DEMOCRATS you never fail to make a fool of yourself.
Keep up the good work, and NEVER – forget MAGA !
She’s going to get hammered for taking his money if she makes it to the general election.

An American, I also googled Dick Uihlein . . . had some concern too, but I think this will be ok.
She is an honest, person. And believes what she stands for. Real Republicans will, “Be on the SIDE of Jeannie Ives.”
