Lake Forest megadonors Richard and Elizabeth Uihlein eschewed suburban candidates in Q1 but backed RepMTG,…
The suburbs' most prodigious political donor and his wife made about $6.9 million in campaign contributions in the year's first quarter -- but only one went to a candidate in Illinois.
"There are lots of better places for Uihlein to be spending his money if he wants to protect Republican seats or flip Democratic seats," Redfield said last week.A generous couple An heir to the Schlitz brewing fortune, Richard Uihlein cofounded the Wisconsin-based Uline shipping supply company with his wife. He's Uline's CEO, and she's its president.
Elizabeth Uihlein didn't make the list. She and her husband were ranked fourth in the 2020 cycle, however. Club for Growth Action, a super PAC that on its website claims to back"the right kind of conservatives," got $5.5 million from Uihlein in the quarter, records show -- more than from any other donor.
Coyne said he appreciates Uihlein's support but noted the billionaire is among"hundreds" of people who have contributed to Safe Suburbs USA.
