CHICAGO, IL – Today, JB For Governor released a new TV ad called “Go Back,” highlighting how Governor Pritzker is driving state investments to eliminate food deserts and build new grocery stores in communities that need it most.
The 30-second ad features Liz Abunaw, founder of Forty Acres Fresh Market, explaining how Gov. Pritzker’s investments helped her launch a grocery store in central Austin, a Chicago neighborhood that did not previously have one. It is an example of Gov. Pritzker’s commitment to ensuring all families have access to affordable, fresh produce, regardless of their zip code.
The ad will air on Chicago broadcast and cable television markets, as well as on digital platforms.
30-Second Ad Transcript:
LIZ ABUNAW, Forty Acres Fresh Market Founder: Let’s go back.
Back before central Austin had a grocery store of its own.
Back when getting fresh food required a car or bus ride.
With JB Pritzker’s help, now families can buy groceries right here.
Too often, people don’t believe in business owners like me.
But JB was critical to getting us off the ground.
And he’s helping open grocery stores in so many neighborhoods.
This is not easy work, especially these days.
But JB gets it.
He’s standing behind our business and our community.
