#2,340 - Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson Blows $30K Campaign Funds on Makeup and Skincare in One Year

Chicago's Progressive Mayor, Brandon Johnson, is under scrutiny for spending $30,000 of campaign funds on makeup and grooming expenses. The Chicago Sun-Times questioned these expenditures, revealing payments to local makeup artist Denise Milloy. Johnson's campaign claims these expenses support black and women-owned businesses, but critics argue this is a misuse of funds, especially given Chicago's high crime rates and financial challenges. While Johnson defends his spending as necessary for public appearances, residents and political opponents are appalled, citing misplaced priorities as Chicago faces significant violence and economic issues. This controversy highlights ongoing concerns about fiscal responsibility and leadership in urban governance.
