Today, JB for Governor released a new ad titled “Inspires,” spotlighting Governor JB Pritzker’s running mate, Christian Mitchell, a lifelong fighter for Illinois working families.
The 30-second ad features lieutenant gubernatorial candidate Christian Mitchell sharing his story of being raised by a single mother who worked as a NICU nurse while caring for him and his grandparents. He credits his mother as the inspiration behind his fight to make life better for working families.
As a state representative, Mitchell fought to reform Illinois’ school funding formula, so every student gets a fair shot. As deputy governor, he helped lead passage of Rebuild Illinois, the state’s historic infrastructure plan, and the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act (CEJA), creating good-paying jobs for working families.
Christian Mitchell has spent his career fighting for working families, and he is ready to carry that fight forward alongside Gov. Pritzker.
The ad will air on broadcast television statewide.
And after the long shifts she poured all that she had into raising me while also taking care of my grandparents.
She’s the one who inspires me to do what I do.
As a community organizer, a National Guardsman, and a state representative, I fought to make things better for working families, and now I am so proud to be running for lieutenant governor with JB Pritzker.
Because JB gets up every day and fights for people like us.
My mom’s story is not unique.
There are hardworking people like her all across Illinois, and I am inspired to work for you every single day.
