Funny, coming from a Trump devotee.
I’d still like to see a reputable source confirm this.
Will AI work. Lol
Governor J.B. Pritzker has largely self-funded his campaigns for Illinois governor with his personal fortune.For his 2018 campaign (first term), he contributed approximately $171.5 million of his own money, setting a record for self-financing in U.S. history at the time.
For his 2022 reelection campaign, he contributed about $152 million from personal funds.
Combined for these two completed campaigns, Pritzker donated roughly $323 million of his own money to his gubernatorial efforts.
In late 2025 (ahead of the 2026 election for a potential third term), he added $25.5 million more to his campaign fund. This is separate from the prior campaigns and reflects early funding for the ongoing cycle as of January 2026.These figures come from state campaign finance records, news reports, and analyses, where Pritzker's personal contributions made up the vast majority of his campaign funding due to Illinois laws allowing unlimited self-donations. Some sources note total spending slightly higher (e.g., around $350 million including related party support), but the direct personal donations to his own campaigns align with the $323 million total for 2018 and 2022.
