CHICAGO, IL — Today, Governor JB Pritzker and lieutenant gubernatorial candidate Christian Mitchell kicked off the official JB for Governor Fighting for You Tour, a five-day bus tour across the state of Illinois.
Gov. Pritzker and Mitchell started the tour just off of Route 66 and will make stops in cities and towns from Springfield, to the Metro East, to the Quad Cities, to Rockford, sharing how they’re fighting for Illinois families and the importance of electing Democrats up and down the ballot as we head into election season.
“As governor, the fight for Illinois’ working families is at the center of everything I do,” said Governor JB Pritzker. “This bus tour is all about meeting working families where they are and making clear that I am going to keep fighting to lower costs, increase opportunity, and defend our most fundamental rights with everything I have.”
“For 100 years, Route 66 has served as a physical reminder that big cities and small towns across Illinois are connected,” said lieutenant gubernatorial candidate Christian Mitchell. “JB has fought and won battles for seven years to raise our wages, lower our costs, and put Illinois back on the side of working families. That’s why JB and I are kicking off this tour across the state, because we believe in showing up for Illinoisans, no matter where they are.”
