Pritzker loves to call himself a champion of fairness — a man fighting for working families and equality. But his record tells a different story. He’s a billionaire governor who won $1.4 million gambling last year, while Illinois families struggle under crushing taxes and the soaring cost of living. His wealth and privilege make him profoundly disconnected from the people he claims to represent.
That disconnect has defined his leadership from the start. During COVID-19, Pritzker ruled Illinois through more than 30 executive orders, deciding unilaterally which businesses could open, which would close, and what freedoms citizens could exercise. While families lost their jobs, savings, and peace of mind, his own family quietly relocated to Florida — a state that remained open and free. The move was legal, but deeply symbolic. The governor imposed one set of rules on the rest of us while living by another himself.
It’s a pattern that extends beyond the pandemic. In 2019, Pritzker was caught removing toilets from a mansion to lower its property-tax bill — a stunt that saved him thousands until the scandal became public. He repaid the savings, but the message was clear: one set of rules for the powerful, another for everyone else.
Illinois faces real problems — high taxes, corruption, and out-migration — problems that demand empathy, accountability and real-world understanding. Instead, we have a governor and a party that govern by decree, redraw maps for their own gain and treat voters as obstacles rather than constituents.
So, as the Halloween season reminds us of tricks and monsters, let’s remember the real fright in Illinois politics: a billionaire governor and a Democrat machine carving up our state — its maps, its families and its future.
Illinois doesn’t need rulers who hide behind privilege and power. It needs servant-leaders who understand the struggles of ordinary families. It’s time to demand more — and that means firing JB Pritzker and ending the Democrats’ grip on Illinois in 2026.
