President Obama was in Chicago Thursday to speak about the U.S. economy and to stump for embattled Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn, an incumbent candidate who is roughly tied with his Republican challenger, businessman Bruce Rauner.

The president attended a fundraiser for Quinn, which hosted roughly 25 attendees at $50,000 per person. The event, which was closed to the press, was held at the home of Leslie Bluhm, who founded the volunteer group Chicago Cares. She is also the daughter of billionaire investor Neil Bluhm.
