Pritzker dinged on term limits

* Rauner campaign…
At an event in McLean County on Tuesday, JB Pritzker was asked if he’d commit to only serving two terms as Governor. He replied curtly with: “Do you really want me to commit to that right here?” (VIDEO)
Pritzker did not make that commitment and later said, “I’m not in favor of term limits generally.” (VIDEO)
80% of Illinoisans support term limits, and Governor Rauner has always said he’ll only serve two terms because he believes public service should be a calling, not a way to make money.
“JB Pritzker doesn’t want term limits for the governor’s office or any other elected official because he’s a corrupt insider looking to become a career politician.” -Will Allison, Rauner campaign spokesman
Sounds like that first clip was a joke. And Pritzker has said before that he doesn’t favor term limits except for legislative leaders. But, still a fun little ding.
