Dear Illinois Republican Family,
As Governor Pritzker quietly soft-launches his campaign for the presidency, Illinois families are left to deal with the fallout of his failed leadership. The governor has turned Illinois into nothing more than a stepping stone for his political ambitions, disregarding the struggles of everyday residents in his pursuit of national recognition.
Pritzker and the Illinois Democrats have shown time and again that they are more concerned with playing politics than addressing the pressing issues facing the state. Whether it’s reducing the crushing tax burden, reining in the skyrocketing cost of living, or fostering an economic climate that encourages families and businesses to stay, the Majority Party remains indifferent. Their actions make it clear: your financial struggles take a backseat to their political theater.
This indifference was on full display. Rather than focus on solutions to the challenges confronting Illinoisans, Democrats in the House chose to grandstand, using their platform to throw a performative tantrum about President Donald Trump. Instead of governing, they wasted taxpayer time and money for political theatrics. In response to this unproductive spectacle, Illinois House Republicans walked out. Illinois citizens deserve better,
Pritzker’s own inconsistency highlights his opportunism. He insists that tax hikes were off the table as a way to balance the state budget. But, he has since walked back that commitment, now claiming that tax increases are something he would consider. His willingness to shift positions on critical issues depending on the political winds underscores his lack of resolve when it comes to standing up for Illinois families.
Meanwhile, the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) continues to hold the city hostage with their escalating demands, pushing the city to the brink of yet another strike. Despite his efforts, the Mayor has been unable to satisfy the CTU's demands, and the City Council appears more interested in emulating Pritzker’s headline-chasing antics than doing the hard work of governance. Yet, instead of prioritizing accountability and the needs of students, Democrats have chosen to side with the CTU, perpetuating a system that values political alliances over meaningful education reform. Families and businesses across Illinois see this dysfunction and respond accordingly: they move out of Illinois
Illinois deserves leaders who care about its people—not self-serving politicians who see the state as a mere rung on the ladder to higher office. As JB Pritzker angles for his next big move, Illinois families are left hurting, neglected by those who should be fighting for them. But Illinois doesn’t have to stay on this path. The people of Illinois deserve better, and there is hope for a brighter future. By electing Republicans, we can put an end to the tax-and-spend mentality, hold our leaders accountable, and prioritize the needs of families and businesses over partisan agendas.
Republicans are committed to restoring fiscal responsibility, fostering an environment where businesses can thrive, and ensuring that every child has access to a quality education—one that prepares them for success, not one beholden to union politics. Together, we can create a state where families want to stay, where businesses want to invest, and where government serves the people instead of itself. The road to a stronger, more prosperous Illinois begins with each and every one of us. Illinois can once again become a beacon of opportunity for our families.
