Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to Speak at Police Event Monday in Chicago Suburbs [View all]

https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/florida-gov-ron-desantis-to-speak-at-police-event-monday-in-chicago-suburbs/3076717/

Even before Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' scheduled appearance in the Chicago suburbs on Monday, news of the Republican's upcoming visit sparked a reaction in the Chicago mayor's race and from Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker.

DeSantis will speak at an event entitled "Law and Order Illinois" in Elmhurst, which is being promoted by - but not hosted by - Chicago Lodge 7 of the Fraternal Order of Police.

Speaking Friday, Pritzker sent a clear message about his priorities as governor, while leveling criticism against DeSantis, who is seen as a possible contender in the 2024 presidential election.

"I think every elected official and every candidate for office ought to be calling him out and denouncing what he stands for, and I am sure that he's going to repeat when he comes," Pritzker said.
