“I am so honored to receive the endorsement of ATU Local 308 and the working families it represents,” said JB Pritzker. “In the final weeks of this election, I know ATU Local 308 will play a critical role in helping build our statewide, grassroots campaign to move Illinois forward. Together, and with the support of working families across Illinois, we can beat Bruce Rauner and protect workers’ rights in our state.”

“ATU Local 308 Political Committee is proud to endorse JB Pritzker for governor,” said ATU Local 308 President Ken Franklin. “JB has real plans to put Springfield back on the side of working families and end the all-out assault Bruce Rauner has launched on workers’ rights.
