Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker, the nation's wealthiest officeholder, gave his campaign fund $35 million as he has dodged questions about whether he officially plans to seek election to a second term in 2022. The Illinois State Board of Elections reported Friday that Pritzker injected the money into his campaign fund a week earlier, bringing his fund's total to $35.4 million as he enters the 2022 campaign season.
