LAKE FOREST, Ill. A new Federal Election Commission filing reveals a man with local ties is the biggest funder in recent months of a political action committee seeking to salvage Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moores campaign.
Records show Lake Forest resident Richard Uihlein donated $100,000 this month to the Proven Conservative PAC.
Reports say the money is being used to launch a series of TV ads in Alabama. Theyre meant to fight back against allegations Moore made inappropriate sexual advances on teenage girls when he was in his 30s.
Uihlein founded a shipping supplies company based just over the border in Wisconsin.
Hes been a big backer of conservative candidates for Congress in Illinois. He also helped fund the Illinois Policy Institute, a group with close ties to Gov. Bruce Rauner IL

(706 posts)But you are a bit late to the game. The a-hole has been pouring money into anti-working class candidates for some time. I have also quit purchasing from LL Bean. Yes it is an individuals choice as to his/her campaign contributions. But it is also my choice as to where I spend my money. Spending is the most potent weapon we have so I say we spend wisely.
