CHICAGO MAYOR CAMPAIGN CASH? JOHNSON NEARLY ALL UNION. VALLAS MAINLY FROM INDIVIDUALS.

[RandySF]

Chicago voters are learning about two very different mayoral candidates through campaigns with very different funding sources.

Illinois State Board of Elections data shows over 95% of Brandon Johnson’s funding is from 15 unions, with the majority coming from teachers unions.

Nearly 83% of Paul Vallas’ funding comes from 721 individual donors.

The median aggregate amount given by the teachers unions and their political action committees to the Johnson campaign is more than $940,000. Johnson has just over 140 individual donors to date, with the median donation at $1,000.

Vallas has no donations from teachers unions and just one donation from a union – IBEW Illinois PAC – which is for $100,000. The median aggregate amount contributed by the more than 720 individual donors to the Vallas campaign is $1,500.

1. vallas has the support of the police union which is pro torture. Doesn't mean vallas is. But, they

endorsed him.

2. Vallas is a closet Trumper.

3. Definitely not a fan. And most definitely voting for his opponent. But I don't think he's

that. I see him more as a Rahm Emanuel type, but with good manners. What I will say is that the Trump supporters we have here will vote for him.
