Several alumni are taking on key roles in Senator Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. Penny Sue Pritzker JD/MBA ’84 is heading up fundraising efforts for Obama’s presidential bid as the campaign’s national finance chair. Pritzker, founder, chair, and CEO of Classic Residence by Hyatt, supported Obama during his Senate run. Also working on the Obama campaign are John Roos ’80 (BA ’77), CEO of Wilson, Sonsini, Goodrich & Rosati; James S. Crown ’80, president of Henry Crown and Company; and Tony West ’92, a partner at Morrison & Foerster. Roos, a member of the Obama national finance committee, hosted an event at his home that raised $300,000. “He’s the only candidate that has the potential to bring the country together,” says Roos. “He’s incredibly thoughtful on the issues; he sees all sides.”
