Millionaire businessman Willie Wilson, who is running for mayor in Chicago, handed out $300,000 to about 2,000 churchgoers at the New Covenant Missionary Baptist Church on Sunday morning, July 22, during Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner’s visit.
Wilson is one of the several Democrats who plan to challenge incumbent Democratic Mayor Rahm Emanuel in the mayoral election in seven months time on Feb. 26, 2019.
