Declare COI

I created this article as a paid consultant to The Outcast Agency, which represents Adam Pritzker. Although I am an experienced Wikipedia editor, and abide by the WP:5P to the best of my ability, where I have a COI, I always seek an independent review as per WP:COI. If I can be of any assistance, I am happy to work to improve this article. Thank you. BC1278 (talk) 19:19, 18 December 2016 (UTC)BC1278

Help with new section

Hi,

I'm an experienced Wikipedia editor, but I have a conflict here as a paid consultant to Pritzker through his communications agency, Outcast. I try to be neutral, wells-sourced, avoid puffery, and follow the WIkipedia 5 pillars. In keeping with Wikipedia policy, could someone help by giving an independent review to the following suggested new section, which I suggest be placed below Career?

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.

Could someone also consider a more recent photo for the infobox? There's also a more recent photo of Pritzker on Wikimedia Commons.

Thanks and please let me know if I can assist in any way. BC1278 (talk) 21:53, 15 November 2017 (UTC)BC1278

Hi @BC1278:, thank you for reaching out to me on my talk page. Thank you for disclosing your conflict of interest per Wikipedia policy. I have reviewed the "politics" section, and think it is fine and netural overall, but I would recommend talking less about Future Now and more about Pritzker's role in the organization or individual political views related to this organization using reliable sources. The following sentences: 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. and 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. seem to promote Future Now, and I would highly recommend that these sentences be revised to fit the scope of Pritzker, in one way or another. If you have questions or comments, please let me know. Those are just my thoughts and recommendations, however, I do think that a politics section is justified for this article. In regards to the recent photo, I think that one is much more suitable then the current infobox image. CookieMonster755 𝚨-𝛀 04:54, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

I see another editor jumped in and did a similar update to the article already. Thanks. BC1278 (talk) 19:58, 15 December 2017 (UTC)BC1278

Alright, glad it was resolved. Thank you! CookieMonster755 𝚨-𝛀 00:16, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
