Dear Illinois Republicans, 


Governor JB Pritzker has officially announced his intention to seek a third term. This decision is both disappointing and deeply concerning for anyone who has witnessed the trajectory of our state under his administration. 


Over the past nearly eight years, Illinoisans endured the consequences of Governor Pritzker’s failed priorities and reckless governance. Under his leadership, taxes went up, spending skyrocketed, state agencies suffered mismanagement, and Illinois families took a backseat to political agendas. He pushed through the largest, most bloated budget in state history—one that prioritized benefits for illegal immigrants over much-needed relief for working families.


Rather than focusing on the real issues facing our communities—rising crime, the exodus of businesses, and a shrinking population—Governor Pritzker has leaned into heavy-handed government overreach. His administration has interfered in the daily lives of ordinary citizens while failing to create an environment where families and businesses can thrive.


Make no mistake: Governor Pritzker has not governed with Illinois’ best interests at heart. Instead, he appears to see our state as nothing more than a stepping stone for higher office—a launchpad for a presidential campaign that would leave Illinoisans once again forgotten.


As he seeks a third term, the people of Illinois deserve honest answers. Will JB Pritzker commit to serving a full four years if re-elected? Or will he spend the next term jetting across the country chasing national ambition, while putting Illinois on the backburner?


Illinois deserves a governor who puts its people first. The only path forward—the only way we restore fiscal responsibility, public safety, and real representation—is by electing Republican leadership.


That work begins by supporting our local Republican organizations and precinct committeemen—not just at the ballot box, but by helping us build the infrastructure necessary to get out the vote and protect the integrity of our elections.


We can challenge the entrenched political machine, amplify the voices of real Illinoisans, and deliver the accountable, transparent, and responsible leadership our state so desperately needs. Join your local Republican organization and help us take Illinois back to the people and away from Democrat special interests. 


Can we count on you?
