Bill Daley facing criticism following billionaire’s contribution
CHICAGO — Coming off a big endorsement by the Chicago Tribune, mayoral candidate Bill Daley got another endorsement and with it, $1 million and a lot of criticism.
Hedge fund billionaire and Illinois’ richest man, Ken Griffin, contributed $1 million to Daley’s campaign. Griffin said he donated after careful consideration.
Candidate Paul Vallas called the contribution dark money and said the following in a statement:
“Recent filings directly show what the Daley campaign intends to do with their pay-to-play funded war chest- spread lies to suit his own needs and leverage dark money PACs to anonymously attack Vallas who will cut off their corrupt funding.”
“I’m not going to be the mayor of anybody but the people of Chicago. He is a large employer, very successful and very charitable,” Daley said.
On Wednesday, Susana Mendoza came out swinging. She compared Dailey to former Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner who also got a campaign donation from Griffin. Daley worked on Rauner’s transition team.
