CHICAGO — ILGOP Chairman Kathy Salvi released the following statement following Illinois Governor JB Pritzker’s decision to run for a third-term as governor:
“JB Pritzker’s first two terms have been nothing short of a total failure. He’s prioritized illegal immigrants over Illinois families, hiked taxes, and rammed through the largest, most bloated budget in state history. He has used and abused the fine people of Illinois, allowing heavy handed government to meddle in the lives and safety of ordinary Illinoisans. These last nearly eight years under his governance merits firing not rehiring. While businesses and families flee, Pritzker sees Illinois as nothing more than a stepping stone for the White House.
“One thing is clear — the only way our state will have actual representation and relief is by voting Republican.”
What the media should ask JB: Will you commit to serving another four years if you win re-election? Or can we expect you to jet across the country running for president while putting Illinois on the backburner.
