Dick Uihlein, a wealthy Illinois Republican donor, has made a $1 million investment in Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s presidential bid. Uihlein is the co-founder of Uline Corp., a distribution company located in the Midwest.
Uihlein made the $1 million donation to Keep the Promise, a super PAC supporting Cruz’s candidacy.
“We are most appreciative of Mr. Uihlein’s contribution to Keep the Promise,” said Kristina Hernandez, KTP spokeswoman, in an email to the Washington Examiner.
Uihlein reportedly donated nearly $10 million to political action committees between 2010 and June 30, 2015, and has been heavily active in Wisconsin politics.
