Chicago, IL — Yesterday, JB Pritzker was joined by Congressman Luis Gutierrez to lay out his plan to resist Donald Trump and Bruce Rauner’s hateful agenda. JB’s “Resist Trump” plan laid out five areas where he will focus on fighting for Illinois families: protecting health care, funding education, protecting our environment, fighting for immigration reform, and standing up to intolerance. Read the full plan here.

Here’s what Illinoisans are reading and seeing in the news:

From the Chicago Tribune, Pritzker Says He’ll Lead Illinois as Resistance State to Trump: 

Democratic governor candidate J.B. Pritzker Monday pledged if elected to lead Illinois as a resistance state to President Donald Trump’s policies and said Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner’s silence on federal issues demonstrated he was “complicit” with the president.

… “It takes a tough, stand-up governor to stand up to the president of the United States —speaking out against the president, speaking out against his policies and, more than that, having actual policies that will help expand health care while … Trump is trying to diminish it for Illinois families,” he said. “That’s standing up for Illinois. Where is our governor? Silent.”

From CBS Chicago, JB Pritzker Outlines Plan to Stand Strong Against Elected Governor:

Gubernatorial candidate J.B. Pritzker outlined a multi-point plan to resist President Donald Trump with state actions; and he accuses Governor Bruce Rauner of being silent about the President’s policies.

… “We have put out a real plan, you have it in your hand, of policies that we will put in place that will stand up to Donald Trump. It’s not just about rhetoric. It’s about fact,” Pritzker said. “I also have the longest, strongest history of getting things done for the people of Illinois.”

From the Chicago Sun-Times, Pritzker Wants State Health Care Marketplace to Have ‘Public Option’:

Health care was just one of the issues on which Pritzker, making a campaign stop across the river from Trump International Hotel & Tower, sought to hang President Donald Trump around the neck of Gov. Bruce Rauner.

Unlike the Republican Rauner, Pritzker said, his administration would make Illinois a firewall against Trump’s agenda.

Pritzker, joined by Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.), said he would fight against Trump’s agenda not only on health care, but also on abortion, education and immigration.

From WMAY, Pritzker Compares Rauner to Trump: 

J.B. Pritzker says Rauner has remained silent on issues ranging from the GOP efforts to repeal and replace Obamacare to Trump’s recent tweet banning transgender people from serving in the military.

Pritzker says he will be an outspoken opponent of Trump’s agenda… and says that will start with defeating Rauner next year.

From Decatur Radio, JB Pritzker Vows to Make Illinois Part of Resistance:

The front runner in the Democratic field for governor says he wants to turn Illinois into the center of the resistance to President Trump.  Candidate JB Pritzker yesterday vowed to ‘stand up’ to the President, and said he’s proud to “be part of the resistance.”  Pritzker then told a crowd in Chicago he wants to expand the government’s involvement in health care, and offer new protections to immigrants and supporters of gay rights.
