Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson's Campaign Spends Over $30,000 on Personal Grooming in Last Year
Jun 7, 2024, 01:07 PM
Mayor Brandon Johnson's Chicago mayoral campaign has come under scrutiny for spending over $30,000 on hair care and cosmetics in the past year, according to a review by the Chicago Sun-Times. This expenditure significantly surpasses that of his predecessor, Lori Lightfoot, who spent $2,000 on event-makeup services in 2023. Additionally, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker's campaign spent $6,000 at a beauty salon between 2018 and 2022. The majority of Johnson's campaign funds were reportedly spent on a makeup artist, raising questions among his progressive donors about the appropriateness of such expenses. Johnson has been labeled a big spender on personal grooming in the last year.
