| Description | Billionaire hedge fund founder Ken Griffin has donated $20 million to Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner, ramping up next year's big-money race for Illinois chief executive.
The contribution by the founder and CEO of Citadel, reported to the State Board of Elections on Tuesday, brings to nearly $33.6 million the amount of money and services that Griffin has contributed to the governor's political fund since Rauner began running for office in 2013.
The donation appears to be the largest noncandidate contribution ever given to a campaign. Rauner gave his own campaign $50 million in December of last year. |
