We didn't trust him because he's a billionaire. But, most of us now are admitting he proved us wrong. FFS, he supported a bill to raise taxes on the wealthy. It didn't pass. But, he supported it.

Yes, I would love it if elections were publicly financed. But, they are not and Pritzker is actually a great guy. No he isn't perfect. But, I plan to vote for him in the Presidential primary.
