\n

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker<\/a> has stepped in with significant financial support for a super PAC aiding the Senate campaign of his lieutenant governor, Juliana Stratton, as she seeks to gain traction in next month\u2019s Democratic primary for an open seat.<\/p>\n

Pritzker donated $5 million in December to Illinois Future PAC, according to a campaign finance report posted on the Federal Election Commission website.<\/p>\n

NBC News<\/a> reported that contributions from Pritzker and his family members \u2013 including more than $1 million contributed by cousin Jennifer Pritzker \u2013 made up nearly the entirety of the super PAC\u2019s $6.3 million raised last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The primary elections<\/a> for the crowded Senate race are scheduled for March 17.<\/p>\n

Stratton and Democratic Illinois Reps. Raja Krishnamoorthi and Robin Kelly participated in a debate hosted by WBEZ, the Chicago Sun-Times, the University of Chicago\u2019s Institute of Politics and International House in late January.<\/p>\n

The trio discussed a range of topics including whether they would support Senate Minority Leader<\/a> Chuck Schumer if elected.<\/p>\n

Krishnamoorthi said he was undecided and would “hear his pitch.” “I haven\u2019t decided,” he told the moderators at the debate.<\/p>\n

Kelly said her support would depend on who might run against Schumer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Stratton, however, delivered a firm rejection, saying she has already made her position public.<\/p>\n

“No, and I’ve already said that I will not support Chuck Schumer as leader in the Senate, and I’m the only person on this stage that has said so,” she said.<\/p>\n

Stratton received Pritzker\u2019s endorsement in April as she campaigns to succeed Sen. Dick Durbin, who has said he will not seek a sixth term.<\/p>\n

NBC News reported that Krishnamoorthi, the leading Democratic candidate in the Senate race, has built a massive war chest, pouring roughly $20.5 million into television advertising<\/a> since July, according to data from AdImpact.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
