Gov. J.B. Pritzker said Wednesday that his reelection a day earlier indicates that voters want Illinois “to be a beacon of hope and opportunity and caring” and declared his desire to serve the state as governor while dismissing the idea that he is eyeing the White House in two years.
In bright, spirited remarks that differed starkly from his arm-yourselves-for-the-fight election night diatribe against Republican extremism, Pritzker said his defeat of conservative GOP challenger Darren Bailey produced multiple victors beside him. With Democrats' legislative wins stacking up Wednesday, Pritzker was getting even more allies to focus on tax cuts, clean energy and jobs.
