Freedom Caucus: Illinois Can’t Afford Four More Years Of Pritzker

ILLINOIS FREEDOM CAUCUS
ILLINOIS FREEDOM CAUCUS

The Illinois Freedom Caucus is urging voters to reject Governor JB Pritzker’s run for a third term, calling his leadership a “complete disaster.”

In a statement Monday, the caucus criticized Pritzker for growing the state budget from $40 billion to $55 billion, increasing spending on undocumented immigrants, and tightening gun laws instead of addressing crime. They also blamed him for worsening Illinois’ pension crisis and high property taxes.

The group says defeating Pritzker in 2026 is key to stopping any future presidential ambitions.
