Chicago, IL — Today, the JB for Governor campaign placed a full-page ad in The Chicago Defender highlighting Donald Trump and Bruce Rauner’s commitment to jeopardizing health care for millions of Illinoisans.

Following a delay in the TrumpCare vote, news broke that nine Republican Senators now oppose the bill. This is in addition to the three GOP governors that have already spoken out. The delayed vote gives Bruce Rauner even more time to do what’s right and act decisively to protect Illinoisans.

While it’s clear that Donald Trump and Senator McConnell remain committed to stripping 22 million Americans of their health insurance, now is Bruce Rauner’s chance to stand up and fight.

To keep the pressure on Rauner, voters will see this full-page ad with their daily news:

“Donald Trump and Republicans are trying to strip health care from 22 million people and Bruce Rauner is standing behind their morally bankrupt plan,” said Pritzker campaign communications director Galia Slayen. “With the bill’s delay, Rauner has no excuses. It is time for him to do what’s right and defend the millions of working Illinoisans whose health care is at risk. This state desperately needs a leader in Springfield and we will continue to hold Bruce Rauner accountable until he does his job and fights for Illinois families.”
