Chicago’s progressive mayor Brandon Johnson spent a jaw-dropping $30,000 in campaign finance funds on personal grooming since launching his bid for office, according to a report.
Johnson used the money his supporters contributed to his Friends of Brandon Johnson campaign fund to pay for makeup and hair appointments, The Chicago Sun Times reported.
Nearly all of the money went to makeup artist and “skincare enthusiast” Denise Milloy, who operates Makeup Majic from a home in the south side, according to a campaign finance report.
Between 2023 and 2024 he made more than 30 payments to the business.
Before he was elected in April 2023, the payments were listed as “Candidate makeup for TV” or “Makeup retainer” — however since becoming mayor the makeup payments were only vaguely declared as “event expenses,” according to the newspaper.
Milloy told the Sun Times she’s “not at liberty” to discuss work or the money from Johnson’s campaign.
Johnson’s campaign spokesperson had previously boasted how a majority of the mayor’s campaign contributions came from “working class people” and from labor unions, who funneled cash into his progressive campaign.
