ProPublica reports that Dick and Liz Uihlein, whose shipping supply company Uline dominates the cardboard box market, have become the #1 Republican campaign donors by spending at least $121 million on politics in two years — including major support for election deniers like Doug Mastriano and Jim Marchant. The couple's income surged from $18 million in 2002 to $712 million in 2018 through Uline's pandemic-boosted growth, fueling their ability to fund far-right groups spreading election falsehoods. The story connects this wealth boom to a decades-long family pattern: Dick's father funded the John Birch Society in the 1960s, and his grandfather donated to Charles Lindbergh's America First Committee in the 1940s — both rightist movements.
