First in a Series of Online Videos Highlighting JB’s Commitment to the Future of Illinois

Chicago, IL —  Today, the JB for Governor campaign released the first in a series of “JB and Me” online videos highlighting JB’s commitment to his community and the future of Illinois.

The video features Neal Sales-Griffin’s work to help people learn how to write computer code. With the help of 1871, a non-profit small business hub that JB founded to help small tech companies get started, Neal was able to build a company that has taught 1,600 people how to code, design, and build web applications.

“I’ve seen firsthand JB’s impact on hundreds, even thousands of other people and businesses,”said Neal Sales-Griffin. “JB sees a challenge — something that others might see as insurmountable — and he’s ready to take it on. I know I’m just one guy, but I hope that my story will help shed a little light on who this man is, and what motivates him. JB Pritzker helped change my life, and I can’t wait to watch him change Illinois.”

The best way to get to know someone is to talk to the people that really know them. Over the course of this campaign, we’ll be putting voters directly in touch with the people who know JB and releasing more “JB and Me” videos.
