If you were go into your closet and look at any recent shipping box, there’s a good chance you would find it was made by a company called Uline. The company is owned by an Illinois couple, Richard and Elizabeth Uihlein. The couple has become one of the top federal campaign donors to Republican candidates ahead of the November 2022 election. And not just any Republicans, but some of the most election-denying, right-wing, and anti-democratic men and women seeking office this fall.
