Maybe it’s time to rebrand the Democrats as the party of the rich.
This month saw the election of Jay Robert “J.B.” Pritzker as governor of Illinois. Mr. Pritzker, an heir to the Hyatt hotel fortune, is worth an estimated $3.2 billion, and spent $171.5 million to get himself elected, according to Money magazine.
Another winner was Edward M. “Ned” Lamont Jr., in the Connecticut governor’s race. Mr. Lamont, an heir to the J.P. Morgan banking fortune of his great-grandfather Thomas Lamont, estimated his assets in 2006 at between $90 million and $300 million, and showed reporters tax returns last month with income totaling $18 million over 5 years.
The winner of the election for governor of Colorado, Jared Polis, filed financial disclosure forms as a member of the House of Representatives indicating estimated wealth of more than $300 million.
Messrs. Pritzker, Lamont, and Polis are all Democrats.
