J.B. Pritzker has spent his entire term as Governor ignoring rising crime in Illinois’ largest cities. It’s only fitting that on the final day of his “Think Big” bus tour he’d visit Rockford – a city hit hardest by one of the biggest failures of his governorship.
In 2021, the media reported Rockford was ranked the 17th most dangerous city in America and now violent crime, auto theft, and robbery continue to be on the rise. Meanwhile, like businesses and families across our state, people are leaving Rockford in droves as a result of Pritzker’s failures.
“J.B. Pritzker has been a disaster for working families all across Illinois. Under Pritzker’s watch, he has time and again chosen to empower violent criminals over Illinois families. The so-called “SAFE-T Act” implements Chicago’s failed cashless bail policy across the state and will ensure more criminals are back on our streets. Pritzker’s message has been clear, business in Illinois is only booming if your business is crime. Meanwhile, job creators and residents continue to flee the state,” said Illinois GOP Chairman Don Tracy.
