Brandon Johnson spent $30,000 on “grooming” in his first year as mayor of Chicago, mostly on makeup.
This is clear from a report by The Chicago Sun Times which also details the origin of the funds: Friends of Brandon Johnson, a campaign fund financed by his supporters.
The bulk of the funds went to makeup artist Denise Milloy, while the rest went to a beauty salon.
In comparison, his predecessor, Lori Lightfoot, spent about $2,000, according to the same report. Between 2018 and 2022, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker spent $6,000 at a single hair salon.
A spokesman for Johnson came to his defense, saying in conversation with the Chicago Sun Times that his job was "24-7" and that "appearances matter."
