On the South Side, Governor JB Pritzker gathering with supporters at a tennis facility, hoping to sway potential voters.
“Darren Bailey wants to divide Illinois by handing the state over to the far-right wing zealots who want to enact a hate-filled agenda,” Governor Pritzker said. “Let’s be very clear, in 2022, hate is on the ballot and hate has no place in the state of Illinois.”
“JB Pritzker and Lori Lightfoot, they have had four years to do anything, anything to solve any problems, all the problems that we have and instead they have spent the four years making more problems and creating more of a mess for Illinois, pushing more of our friends and families out of the state,” Bailey said.
