  • Our government went through a big shift in 2018 after Pritzker got elected. We were in serious trouble, about to be unable to borrow because our credit rating was junk, and had 3 decades of corruption and obstruction to work through. In 6 years were 4+ years of balanced budgets with surpluses, some great legislation changes, our fiscal house is in order, and we got through COVID with strong leadership. The state is very democratic, and while there have been a few unpopular legal changes, the biggest majority, including this, have been really helpful and popular. Higher minimum wages, women’s health, diversity support, abortion rights, PTO, etc.

    I’m happy to live here.
