Restoration PAC is the principal political vehicle of Richard “Dick” Uihlein, the CEO of shipping-supplies company Uline and one of the largest conservative individual donors in American politics. The PAC was founded in 2014 and has spent in every federal cycle since, with spending volume increasing sharply over time. In 2024, the PAC spent approximately $35 million attacking Kamala Harris and supporting Donald Trump in the presidential race, and tens of millions more on Senate races including major spending against Tammy Baldwin in Wisconsin.
Uihlein and his wife Elizabeth ranked as the fourth-largest GOP-aligned donor household in the 2023–2024 cycle, with approximately $44.5 million in disclosed contributions across all federal recipients. Restoration PAC is the principal vehicle through which their political giving is channeled into independent expenditures, though they also contribute directly to other super PACs (including Club for Growth Action) and to candidates.
Restoration PAC is included in this directory as a representative example of a conservative megadonor’s personal political infrastructure — a category of super PAC that has become increasingly common as a small number of very wealthy individuals concentrate a growing share of independent expenditure activity.
