CHICAGO - With less than 50 days until Election Day, Illinois Democrats are cozying up to Kamala Harris – who continues to lie and camouflage her radical record. The reason Illinois Democrats are lining up behind the most liberal presidential candidate ever:
They want Illinois for the rest of America.
And what does this look like? Democrat policies are extreme and are actively destroying Illinois:
Largest Tax Increase In State History In 2024
This year, Illinois families were forced to take on multiple tax increases, including a sales tax hike, and a property tax hike. Combined, JB Pritzker has forced the highest tax increase in Illinois history on residents.
Soft on Crime
Crime is rampant in Chicago and has only gotten worse since Pritzker signed the pro-criminal SAFE-T Act. As a result, Illinois residents have endured dangerous streets, neighborhoods, and even classrooms. Cook County Prosecutor Kim Foxx continues to give criminals a pass by not charging them to the fullest extent, not allowing gun, drug, and theft charges to be derived from some traffic stops, and dropping more felony cases than previous prosecutors.
Migrant Crisis Surge
Since 2022, Pritzker has spent nearly $3 billion in taxpayer dollars to fund illegal immigrant services yet Brandon Johnson and him continue to pour more and more money into false plans and ideas that aren’t helping anyone. Meanwhile, Democrats in Illinois continue to align themselves with the failed Border Czar, Kamala Harris.
Prison Review Board
In April, Illinois saw a tragedy as an 11-year-old boy was tragically stabbed to death only one day after the Board released his killer from prison. Instead of taking accountability, Pritzker, the Review Board, and Democrats all pointed fingers as dangerous criminals who are out on parole, are lurking our streets after not serving a full sentence.
Pritzker’s Election Interference Ploy
Pritzker’s attempt to interfere in Illinois elections and deprive Illinois voters of their voice was struck down by a Sangamon County court earlier this year. Pritzker and the Democrats’ goal was to remove the ability to slate candidates without a primary, effectively ensuring that their candidates would go unchallenged in a general election.
Residents Are Leaving Illinois In Droves
Illinois residents are leaving the state in droves and taking their wealth with them. A reported 32,836 residents left Illinois last year, forcing more tax burden on Illinois families.
Bottom Line: It is clear that Illinois Democrats are ruining our state. With Kamala Harris in charge, the rest of the country will begin to fail. In November, Illinois families and Americans will remember the failures and extreme agenda pushed by their elected Democrat officials.
