I'll get straight to the point. Are you satisfied with the safety and security of your community?

Let me just give you a quick review… in 2021 Chicago surpassed 800 murders. 

Yes, you read that correctly - eight hundred murders! This is nothing short of failed leadership from politicians like Pritzker who continue to push lunacy policies like defunding the police. This soft-on-crime approach has simply exacerbated the problem and further divided our great state. 

Let me ask you this: Is this how you imagine the future of our state to look? Take a stand with us and join our Back the Blue Fund to help advance policies that defend the men and women who keep our communities safe. 

As a Mayor of a major urban city, I’ve seen first hand what happens when you leave communities vulnerable by not taking action against criminals and looters who damage property and harm local citizens, like we saw during the summer of 2020. We all watched in horror as Chicago allowed criminal activity to overrun a city under Democratic control. As Mayor, I did not hesitate to crack down on crime, support policing and even called in the National Guard when appropriate. We arrested the law-breakers and ensured thugs from out of state could not enter our streets and harm our citizens.

Here’s the bottom line. Crime remains one of the largest issues facing urban communities throughout this country and in major cities across our state. 

As your next Governor, I'll implement proven strategies to decrease crime, while removing liberal prosecutors who look to decriminalize acts of violence. It’s time we kick these soft-on-crime Democrats who support defunding our police out of power so we can keep our streets safe and our citizens secure. 

Will you add your name to our Back the Blue Fund to stand with us as a fellow law-and-order supporter?

Join our fight against the failed policies of liberal politicians, woke prosecutors and soft-on-crime Democrat leaders. Thank you for considering this request to help protect the safety and security of our future. 

Respectfully, 

Richard Irvin
