Think Big America is a 501 nonprofit, a so-called dark money organization, which is not required by federal law to disclose its donors. The group's spokesperson, Natalie Edelstein, said the Democratic multibillionaire is thus far the lone donor. She would add only that his contribution has been “substantial” and sufficient to cover initial contributions to the other states' campaigns.
Despite a long progressive agenda, there are few issues on which Pritzker has been more vocal than abortion access.. The safeguards include patients from other states streaming to Illinois to have abortions which are prohibited or restricted in their home states. Pritzker has repeatedly said he is focused on being governor, but he notes his nascent campaign will “combat right-wing extremism on all fronts,” not just abortion.
