Bush, Walker Rack Up Super PAC Cash in Illinois
Via Chicago Tribune
With a background in horse racing, the Duchossois family knows how to hedge its bets, something it’s doing when it comes to the 2016 Republican presidential race.
Arlington International Racecourse Chairman Richard L. Duchossois has given money to super political action committees behind former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal. Daughter Kimberly Duchossois gave money to PACs supporting Bush and Walker. And son Craig Duchossois gave $500,000 to Bush’s PAC.
All told, the more than $695,000 contributed by the Duchossois family represents almost one-tenth of the more than $7.5 million Illinois donors have given to the PACs behind nine Republican presidential contenders, a review of Federal Election Commission records shows.
