Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, a man whose family fortune could fund several small nations, has announced he's seeking a third term in 2026.

The same guy who postures as a champion of the little guy has already dropped $10 million of his own cash to install his lieutenant governor in the U.S. Senate. Nothing says 'man of the people' quite like treating the Governor's Mansion as a private country club membership that keeps getting renewed.
