Politics
In October 2017, Pritzker partnered with Columbia University economist Jeffrey Sachs and Daniel Squadron, a former New York state legislator, to create Future Now, a group to fund candidates for local offices that support its mission. The group's mission is donating to candidates that commit to seven priorities it defines as "America's Goals 2030": good jobs, affordable health care, investing in children, empowering people over special interests, equal opportunity, sustainable infrastructure, and clean air, water, and energy. Pritzker is the primary financial backer of the organization, although it will solicit donations from other sources. Future Now initially donated about $160,000 to 10 Democratic candidates running in 2017 for Republican-held seats in the Virginia state legislature, although it said it would also fund Republicans aligned with its goals.
