Candidates and Their Cash
Blair Hull
The name Blair Hull may not immediately ring a bell. After making his fortune by founding Hull Group (an equity option market marking firm which was sold to Goldman Sachs), Hull ran for the Democratic nomination for Senate from Illinois in 2004. He spent more than $28 million of his personal fortune on the campaign, which was won by a then-unknown state senator: Barack Obama.
