SPRINGFIELD, IL — Today, Governor JB Pritzker and lieutenant gubernatorial candidate Christian Mitchell delivered remarks celebrating Governor’s Day at the Illinois State Fair. Gov. Pritzker also spoke at the Illinois Democratic County Chairs’ Association 2026 County Chairs’ Brunch, highlighting how Illinois Democrats are fighting against Trump and pushing forward progress in the state.




“Working families are counting on us, Illinois Democrats, to keep delivering what we’ve been delivering: more money in people’s pockets, more protection from corporate greed, and an unquestioned defense of our most fundamental freedoms,” said Governor JB Pritzker.
“We have made real progress, and none of it would have been possible without my friend, and the best governor in Illinois’ history, JB Pritzker,” said lieutenant gubernatorial candidate Christian Mitchell. “JB has fought and won battles for seven years to raise wages, make life more affordable, and put Illinois on the side of working families.”
