Biden’s Progressive Policies Continue to Harm the Prairie State

Today, Joe Biden returns to Chicago to raise money off of his big-spending mega donors, but don’t expect him to comment on the ongoing migrant crisis enveloping the city, rising crime thanks to JB Pritzker’s “un”-SAFE-T Act, and the fact that two thirds of Americans think the economy was better under Trump.

ILGOP Chairman Don Tracy released the following statement pointing out the struggles Illinois families are facing as a result of Joe Biden’s disastrous agenda in Washington:

“Every day at the grocery store and gas pump, Illinois families are reminded of Joe Biden’s failed agenda that has made life harder. Higher prices and skyrocketing inflation are forcing families to make hard decisions on which bills to pay and what needs to prioritize first. Meanwhile, Joe Biden is coming to Chicago to raise money for four more years of his failed far-left, progressive agenda.”

“Joe Biden’s agenda is bad for Illinois and we are seeing devastating results every single day. Instead of raising money and rubbing elbows with rich donors, Biden should work on improving the lives of Prairie State residents that he has upended.”

Illinois Democrats Take Choice From Voters, Protect Cronies

CHICAGO — Yesterday, Illinois Democrats voted to protect their own cronies and take choice away from voters. At the 11th hour, Democrats added an amendment to prevent the slating of candidates, a practice that has been in place for years, in order to protect two of their own members facing legitimate challenges – Katie Stuart and Mary Edly-Allen. Democrats are running scared because they know their policies have made them increasingly unpopular, so they resort to tricks like these to protect their allies.

Illinois Republican Party Chairman Don Tracy released the following statement:
“When you hear about how loathed politicians are in poll after poll, all you have to do is look to the Illinois Democratic Party to see why. Sneaking amendments into legislation at the last minute to protect their cronies, taking the voice of Illinois voters away from them for a numbers game in Springfield, and thinking that Illinoisans are too dumb to notice should tell you all you need to know about how Illinois Democrats like to do business.”
