* Sen. Bailey tries to walk back his “move on and celebrate” comments shortly after the Highland Park shooting…
…Adding… This Bailey campaign is a mess, man. Not only did the candidate mistakenly invent a mythical community (Edgefield Park), but the bible verse he quoted today was not Psalm 112. It was Colossians 3:12.
* Greg Hinz…
Bailey also appears to have decided to keep Illinois GOP Chairman Don Tracy on the job instead of moving to dump him for his own candidate, as often happens. Tracy was in Effingham for Bailey’s election night party and the gesture was noted. “If he’ll work with us, we’ll work with him,” says one insider.
* This will likely receive more coverage as the campaign year progresses…
Saying Illinois workers need a constitutional guarantee of their right to organize and bargain—and reminding workers of the war former right-wing Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner waged against them—leaders of the Illinois AFL-CIO and legislative allies began their drive for voters to pass a proposed pro-collective bargaining constitutional amendment this November.
If approved, the measure would be one of four such guarantees enshrined in the 50 state constitutions. To win, it needs either 60% of the votes on the initiative itself, or an absolute majority–50% + 1–of all votes cast in the election. […]
“We’re getting ready for the inevitable attacks” from the corporate class, Drea told the Peoria crowd. “To counter the attacks, we have to blunt the lies we expect” from those interests. One of the few Republicans to oppose the amendment during last year’s debate, State Rep. Blaine Wilhour, R-Altamont, called it “special interest legislation” designed to “draw campaign contributions.”
The state fed’s campaign for the amendment will include radio and TV ads, plus mailers but will rely on person-to-person contact, Drea said.
* Personal PAC endorsed Judge Rochford’s opponent in the Democratic primary, but Rochford won by 16 points…
The Personal PAC Board of Directors is extremely proud to endorse pro-choice Liz Rochford for the Illinois Supreme Court in the 2nd district, which includes Lake, Kane, Kendall, McHenry and Dekalb counties.
We believe Rochford respects the fundamental right to privacy in reproductive decision-making. The November 8th election could not be more important to the future of reproductive rights in Illinois and across the entire Midwest for the 56 million women who will depend on us being here into the next decade and beyond as a result of the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade.
Rochford’s opponent, Mark Curran, has been endorsed by the most extreme factions of the anti-choice movement seeking to make abortion illegal in Illinois, even in cases of rape and incest. For this reason Curran has the full support of “Illinois Right To Life,” the political arm of the anti-choice movement. From Curran’s Supreme Court campaign website: “Person of Faith-Devout Roman Catholic and follower of Christ, he founded Bibles, Badges and Business…”
* This is not a very fair take. Pritzker released two statements, one of which was consoling, before issuing the statement highlighted in this WaPo piece…
President Biden took the stage at an Independence Day barbecue just a few hours after the latest horrific shooting to upend an American city — but at his first opportunity to address the nation in person about the Highland Park killings, he did so only obliquely.
“You all heard what happened today,” Biden said. “Things will get better still, but not without more hard work together.”
It was not until about two hours later, after singer Andy Grammer finished an acoustic version of “Give Love,” that the president returned to the stage and attempted to respond to the tragedy more fully, calling for a moment of silence and decrying the spate of mass shootings. “We’ve got a lot more work to do,” Biden said, reiterating some of what he had said in a written statement earlier in the day. “We’ve got to get this under control.”
In contrast, J.B. Pritzker, Illinois’ Democratic governor, delivered a fiery response that took direct aim at those blocking gun control legislation. “If you are angry today, I’m here to tell you to be angry,” he said, seething while Biden was consoling. “I’m furious. I’m furious that yet more innocent lives were taken by gun violence.”
* Illinois Family Action…
Illinois conservatives face serious challenges in the gubernatorial race.
In 2014, Bruce “The Deceiver” Rauner beat Pat Quinn in the race for governor by about 140,000 votes. Quinn won only one county: Cook County. Rauner won in large measure by deceiving Illinoisans–including many conservatives–with his dishonest campaign promises. By the time he ran for reelection in 2018, Rauner had been found out and, as a consequence, had little support. He received nearly 58,000 fewer votes in the 2018 election and was trounced by J. B. Pritzker.
Because of his promotion of all sorts of evil, Pritzker was able to energize the Democrat base, thereby beating Rauner by over 700,000 votes in the 2018 race. While Quinn won only one county in 2014, Pritzker won at least 16 counties in 2018 (of 102 total counties in Illinois).
Here was the key for Pritzker over Rauner: He won Cook County by 836,138 votes. Fifty-one percent of his total votes came from just Cook County alone! If you throw in the following 6 counties: DuPage, Will, Lake, Kane, Champaign, and St. Clair counties, Pritzker received more votes than Rauner did statewide. In fact, Pritzker could have given the 611,791 votes he received in the rest of Illinois and donated them to Rauner and still won.
In the 2020 presidential election, Donald J. Trump received 260,608 more votes than Rauner did in those 7 counties. Of course, in a presidential election, the voter turnout is much higher which may account for the discrepancy. However, what is interesting is that in a non-presidential election year, Pritzker still received 32,855 more votes in those 7 counties than Trump did.
Therefore, two things must happen if GOP nominee Senator Darren Bailey is to beat Pritzker. He must get as many votes as Trump did and hope that the turnout for Democrats decreases by 5 percent or more or to make up the rest of the difference downstate. This will be a challenge for Bailey.
To say the least. Also, turnout across the board is always much higher in a presidential year. Bailey matching the Trump numbers would take a political hurricane and a perfect campaign run by Bailey. Trump received over 2.4 million statewide votes in 2020, while Pritzker took about 2.5 million and Bruce Rauner and Sam McCann combined received less than 2 million votes in 2018.
* Speaking of turnout, here’s the Chicago Board of Elections…
Updated Voter Turnout: 338,402 – 22.58% of registered voters in Chicago (1,498,813)
Democratic Turnout: 302,605 (89.42%)
Republican Turnout: 34,769 (10.27%)
Libertarian Turnout: 1,022 (0.30%)
Nonpartisan Turnout: 6 (0.001%)
32,461 additional votes have been counted and added to this total since the last summary report I sent on 7/1/22 , with 30,101 new Vote By Mail ballots included (received on Election Day 6/28/22 up through Tuesday 7/5/22). In total, 90,431 Vote By Mail ballots were returned and counted so far for the June 28th Primary Election.
So far, 173,571 Chicago voters chose to Early Vote or Vote By Mail (51.3% of voters), and 164,831 Chicago voters chose to vote on Election Day (48.7%).
These results will remain unofficial until the July 19th Proclamation of Results. The Board will now begin to process and count 3,662 Provisional Ballots, and will continue to count properly postmarked Vote By Mail Ballots sent to our office through July 12th. There are 34,154 Vote By Mail ballots that were sent and not returned (though we do not expect most of these will be returned with the proper postmark).
All updated results and ward by precinct totals are live on our website here: https://www.chicagoelections.gov/en/election-results.html
Four years ago, which featured hotly contested gubernatorial primaries in both parties, 452,529 voters chose Democratic ballots and 31,535 Chicagoans chose GOP ballots. So, Republican turnout was up this year by about 10 percent and Dem turnout dropped by 33 percent. Also, Chicago voter registration has fallen ever so slightly (0.3 percent). That lack of Democratic enthusiasm is being pointed to by some as a possible warning sign for the Pritzker campaign, but if Darren Bailey doesn’t right his ship soon, he’s gonna deflate his momentum in a hurry.
* And speaking of Chicago, here’s Fran Spielman…
Former Chicago Public Schools CEO Paul Vallas dropped $836,500 into his mayoral campaign fund on Wednesday in the first significant fundraising report filed by any of the seven candidates vying to unseat Mayor Lori Lightfoot. […]
They include $500,000 from prominent Republican donor and golf course magnate Michael Keiser; $100,000 apiece from John Canning and James Perry of Madison Dearborn Partners; $50,000 from Noel Moore, managing partner of Endurance Asset Management; and $25,000 from Edgar Bachrach of Bader Clothing.
Vallas also reported receiving $10,000 contributions from Petco Petroleum’s Jay Bergman; the O’Donnell Family LLC; and Edward J. Wehmer, president and CEO of Wintrust Financial.
After a first-quarter fundraising frenzy — her best since taking office — Lightfoot still had just $1.7 million in cash in her primary political account.
…Adding… Kendall County Republicans…
We are selling raffle tickets for four popular firearms (one raffle per firearm). Cost is $20 per ticket. Click a link below to buy a ticket for that firearm. The drawing (and last date to buy tickets) will be on July 24th at 2 PM at Mike & Denise’s in Yorkville.
To be eligible to buy a raffle ticket, you must be a FOID card holder, at least 21 years old, and legally allowed to own a gun.
• Smith & Wesson 642 38 Special
• Smith & Wesson 5.56/.223
• Glock G19 G5 9MM
• Viper G2 Silver 28 Gauge
*** UPDATE *** That Smith & Wesson 5.56/.223 being auctioned by the Kendall County Republicans is very similar to and the same caliber as the Smith & Wesson M&P15 that was used in the Highland Park shooting. Great move, folks. Sheesh.
…Adding… Edgefield Park is the new Lincoln County?…
…Adding… Heh…
…Adding… Press release…
Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot’s reelection campaign announced today that it raised more than $1.25 million for the second quarter of 2022, ending the quarter with $2.5 million cash on hand.
“I’m so grateful to the supporters who are Ridin’ with Lori and have joined our reelection campaign,” said Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot. “When I announced my reelection bid last month, I promised to never back down from the tough fights that lie ahead. I will continue to tackle our biggest problems head on, like continuing to bring down violent crime, standing up for women’s bodily autonomy and access to high quality reproductive care, helping bridge the financial burdens that too many Chicagoans face and continuing investments in neighborhoods that have been neglected for decades. Change doesn’t happen overnight, but we are seeing what happens when we join together and focus on making a difference in people’s lives. I am honored by the support of so many Chicagoans and I will keep fighting everyday for you.”

Unclear on the concept
Thursday, Jul 7, 2022 - Posted by Rich Miller
* From the Firearms Restraining Order Act…
“Firearms restraining order” means an order issued by the court, prohibiting and enjoining a named person from having in his or her custody or control, purchasing, possessing, or receiving any firearms or ammunition, or removing firearm parts that could be assembled to make an operable firearm. […]
“Petitioner” means:
(1) a family member of the respondent as defined in this Act; or
(2) a law enforcement officer who files a petition alleging that the respondent poses a danger of causing personal injury to himself, herself, or another by having in his or her custody or control, purchasing, possessing, or receiving a firearm.
* From Sen. Darren Bailey’s press conference today regarding the Highland Park massacre and gun violence…
Let’s be clear, Governor Pritzker, this happened on your watch. You’ve got more gun control laws than almost anywhere else in America. Our problems are more complex than just more restrictive gun laws on law abiding citizens.
The Firearms Restraining Act would have prevented the tragedy on the Fourth, but you buried it. You left it moldering in some bureaucratic basement somewhere. Your watch, Governor. It’s not enough to pass laws. You have to do the hard work to make sure that the laws do what they were intended to do. Gun owners, let’s get real. The Firearms Restraining Act exists and we need to stop pretending that it doesn’t. If we have to amend it to make sure that it protects our constitutional rights, let’s take a look at that. But for Pete’s sake, let’s use it. […]
I’m telling the people that the law is on the books and it was ignored. We didn’t know one government, starting at the top with government, Governor Pritzker ignored it. It wasn’t used, and if it would have been used, it could have prevented this. And that’s why I’m calling for special session. […]
The FOID card system is simply to pilfer money from people’s pockets. That’s all it does. We have the federal firearm background check. We have age limits. We have waiting periods. We have the Firearms Restraining Act, which was passed to take care of this very issue. It’s not working, the FOID card’s not working and it needs to go. […]
I want to find out why government didn’t enact this and it starts at the top. Governor Pritzker failed in enacting this Firearms Restriction Act. […]
We have a law on the books, the Firearm Restraint Act. And as far as I can tell, that bill looks like it should have caught it, but it’s not being used. It’s another law. People come here to Springfield. They want to pass more laws. They think passing laws is the solution. That time is wasted if we don’t have a leader that holds people can hold these laws accountable and make sure that they work, thats where the system messed up at.
Following Bailey’s logic, every time cops are called by third parties regarding an alleged threat that family witnesses denied ever happened (as was the case with the Highland Park shooter in 2019), the Illinois State Police should go to court and petition a judge to force the alleged offender to surrender their firearms. And if the person doesn’t own or possess any firearms (as was also the case with the Highland Park shooter in 2019), then… what?
* Back to Bailey…
The Highland Park shooter was posting violent videos with an intent to attack. The shooter could have been stopped and would have been stopped if Governor Pritzker and the government were living up to their true duty to protect the innocent
OK, so Sen. Bailey wants the Illinois State Police to monitor all social media at all times to see if Illinois residents and gun owners are posting any violent videos online, like, I dunno, perhaps, posting a video of shooting a printed Illinois state budget with a high-powered rifle, or defiantly proclaiming a willingness to “die on my porch before I give up my guns,” or repeatedly raffling off weapons of war to help fund a political campaign, and then take every single incidence of that to a county judge?
See how that works, Darren?
If the ISP had received a tip or otherwise stumbled across the fact that the Highland Park shooter was posting videos threatening to kill certain people or shoot up an event and didn’t do anything about it, then that’s most definitely on the ISP. Otherwise, what Bailey is proposing is a huge government overreach and intrusion with almost unlimited potential for abuse.
…Adding… The Firearms Restraining Order Act was expanded last year. Sen. Bailey voted “No.”

* Coalition partner list is here. Press release…
On behalf of the members of Illinois Latino Agenda 2.0 and our respective organizations, we are once again grief-stricken and outraged by the gun violence epidemic shattering the lives of families and crippling our communities with fear.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the victims and survivors of the awful Fourth of July mass shooting in Highland Park.
Celebrating Independence Day is a welcomed tradition of time spent making memories with family enjoying music, cookouts, fireworks, parades, and other festivities. It is also a day of reflection to contemplate what freedom means to us as members of this beautiful quilt of blended cultures united by the American flag, embracing American values.
Now the images of young and old smiling faces lining the streets of Highland Park to cheer floats and marching bands that quickly turned to looks of horror and screams of terror are unfortunately part of July Fourth memories.
The downrush of gun violence that has become frighteningly commonplace in America continues to deny us freedom of assembly, freedom to enjoy and have productive lives in our society, and freedom to live.
This weekend in Chicago, where living in violence is sadly commonplace, eight people were killed and 68 wounded, a reduction of 18 dead and 92 shot in 2021. But the Summer has just started, and we are bracing for the number of victims to soar.
As Highland Park joins Buffalo, Uvalde, and other communities forever broken by mass shootings and national attention again focuses on our country’s unique gun problem, we demand better.
We demand a special legislative session in Springfield for lawmakers to immediately address:
● Ban assault weapons, high-capacity magazines.
● Create an assault weapons registry.
● Demand mandatory fingerprinting on FOID cards.
It is time to bring about policies to keep all our communities safe from gun violence. Once again, we have proved that guns and assault weapons in the wrong hands are lethal and have no geographical boundaries, and do not discriminate
While Congress tried to develop a landmark bipartisan bill addressing gun violence after 26 years, our concerns were barely met.
The killing of seven people and 37 wounded in Highland Park are sadly part of the prevalent gun violence culture in the U.S. We are disheartened to learn that among the victims are the grandfather and the boyfriend of health volunteers at the non-profit Mano a Mano.
After 2 1/2 years of Covid19, the isolation, violence, and gun violence have increased, and it is also cause for immediate action in our cities and state’s mental health services.
ILA 2.0 is compelled to DEMAND better self-monitoring of platforms that, while enjoying their success, should fully embrace the responsibility that comes with their growth and how it affects vulnerable minds and people searching for a place and ideology to fit in. It can not only be about profits…it’s about lives.
We once again urge our local governments and philanthropy to increase resources for mental health services so that no person who needs it goes without. A number of our organizations provide mental health services– with language and cultural competence– to victims of crime and potential perpetrators. The evidence overwhelmingly supports the value of reducing crime through trauma-informed services.
The members of the ILA 2.0 are dedicated to making impactful change. By supporting common-sense gun measures, greater access to mental health services, and holistic youth programming, we aim to ensure that all recently lost are remembered through collective action.
The state significantly increased mental health funding this year and enacted a big mental health omnibus bill, which appears to be tacitly acknowledged in the release since they’re calling on local governments and philanthropy groups to step up.
…Adding… The Gun Violence Prevention PAC has also been calling for inclusion of specific issues during any upcoming special session…
Specifically, we call upon them to act quickly to regulate weapons of war that make mass shootings like today’s in Highland Park more deadly, including registration of assault rifles and semi-automatic handguns as well as limiting high capacity ammunition magazines.

* Press release…
· Following the end of his congressional campaign in Illinois’ 14th congressional district, Mike Koolidge has been hired as the Communications Director and Chief Spokesman for People Who Play By The Rules PAC, effective immediately. The “PBR” PAC is a political action committee whose mission is to support gubernatorial candidates and candidates for local offices, particularly school boards, committed to ending the fleecing of people who play by the rules and are gamed by a political system they finance. It will focus especially on equal protection and accountability under the law – American ideals increasingly neglected by too many in the modern political world.
· “We are so pleased to have a talent like Mike join our team and bring his wealth of experience and creativity in crafting substantive, engaging content to the work we’re doing at PBR PAC.” – Dan Proft, President, PBR PAC.
· At the end of June, Koolidge lost his race in the Republican primary to unseat Lauren Underwood in the new Illinois 14th congressional district. Before his run for congress Koolidge hosted and owned his highly successful regionally syndicated radio program The Michael Koolidge Show for 14 years, which he retired from of his own accord in November. Prior to that he served as an active duty U.S. Army officer for six years.
· Koolidge: “I’ve been asked repeatedly if I’m coming back on the radio after my run for congress. While I haven’t ruled it out completely in some form in the future, the opportunity offered by the PBR PAC is one I couldn’t pass up. My love for talk radio and its impact on politics has never ceased, but part of why I ran for congress was to move beyond words and into real action. My role at PBR PAC allows me to do just that, and I couldn’t be more excited about it.”
Koolidge finished third with 21 percent of the vote.
* CD13…
Today, Nikki Budzinski, the Democratic nominee for Illinois’ 13th Congressional district, called on the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency to approve the permit for construction of the Lincoln Land Energy Center in Pawnee, Illinois.
The 1,090-megawatt natural gas-fueled facility would generate $1.53 billion in economic output during construction and create over 1,000 jobs in Sangamon County. The project has the unified support of organized labor. The plan would also help to support the stability of the Illinois electric grid by providing consistent and reliable power.
Jeff Clarke, the Mayor of Pawnee, IL made the following statement: “Lincoln Land Energy Center will help stabilize our power grid, create over a thousand jobs in our area, and bring down costs for consumers. As a small-town mayor, I need federal partners that will work across the aisle to deliver results for Pawnee residents. I know Nikki is that candidate and am glad to see her support of LLEC.”
Budzinski made the following statement: “Illinoisians across IL13 are facing the potential of dangerous power brownouts and blackouts this summer along with rising energy costs that are hurting working families. LLEC would help alleviate both problems by acting as a crucial baseload resource, stabilizing the Illinois power grid, creating over 1,000 jobs in our area, and bringing down costs by creating energy right here in Sangamon County.”
“I support the development of this plant and call on the Illinois EPA to cut the red tape and approve the permit for construction immediately.”
* Same candidate yesterday…
This morning, the Police Benevolent & Protective Association of Illinois announced their endorsement of Nikki Budzinski in Illinois’ 13th Congressional District. Founded in 1936, the PBPA is comprised of 189 different units and is the largest downstate police association made up of full-time and retired sworn police officers.
The endorsement comes as Nikki Budzinski enters the general election with over $1,00,000 cash on hand after a decisive win in Illinois’ Democratic primary last week.
Budzinski made the following statement: “I am honored to earn the endorsement of the Police Benevolent & Protective Association of Illinois and their members. I am committed to working with the law enforcement community.”
“I believe we need to make our communities safer by investing in law enforcement and ensuring they have the resources they need to succeed. The PBPA and their members know that I will stand with them and work with them to accomplish everyone’s shared vision of making our communities safer. I look forward to working with them in Congress.”
Sean Smoot, PBPA Chief Legal Counsel and Director, made the following statement: “Nikki Budzinski has earned the support of the PBPA of Illinois because she will be an advocate for the safety and training of law enforcement officers in Washington. Her support of officers in the line of duty and off duty, along with their families, is essential to public safety. She will be a strong voice for law enforcement and the communities they protect.”
* NRCC…
Hi there –
Nancy Pelosi is endorsing Nikki Budzinski.
NRCC Comment: “Nancy Pelosi is endorsing Nikki Budzinski because she knows Budzinski will support Pelosi’s socialist agenda in Congress.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Courtney Parella
* Press release…
Monica Gordon, Democratic Primary winner for 5th District Cook County Commissioner and winner of the Bloom Township Democratic Committeeperson seat issued the following statement after her big win on Tuesday:
“I am extremely humbled by the results of this year’s primary election. I am grateful for the incredible team I have had around me the last several months, who have been tirelessly knocking doors, making phone calls, attending events, and doing so much more. I am so proud of them. I am also very lucky to have the support of the “Keep Bloom Strong” organization. Their guidance, leadership, and strength have made all the difference in the races we have been running.
“I have been fortunate enough to have earned the endorsements of several organizations and leaders in our community. My endorsements from incumbent commissioner Deborah Sims and a host of other local leaders have given me - and the public- confidence in my abilities to lead Cook County District 5. The endorsement I received from SEIU 73 is deeply appreciated and all their hard work in this race has been absolutely incredible.
“Moving forward, I am confident that we will build on the momentum of these recent wins in order to take it all the way home and win the seat of District 5 Cook County Commissioner. The district is in need of strong, ethical leadership that I am ready to provide. I will be unwavering in my support of the people of the district and I will do what it takes to ensure that the 5th district will have equitable representation on the Cook County Board.”

Joint Statement From Governor Pritzker, Senate President Harmon, and House Speaker Welch on Special Legislative Session to Protect Reproductive Rights
As we build on Illinois’ nation-leading abortion protections and access, it is essential to bring lawmakers and advocates into the room to continue to work together. In the coming weeks, as the ripples of the decision to overturn Roe are felt throughout the nation, we expect to get an acute sense of our needs and how Illinois can play an even more vital role in standing up for reproductive freedom. We plan to work closely together for the remainder of the summer to assess every possibility of what we can do and convene a special session in the coming months.
…Adding… Tribune…
As for taking more time before convening lawmakers on abortion, “we need to look at how this is already impacting states and how it will impact states over the next couple months,” Abudayyeh said.
During a White House call with Democratic governors on Friday, Pritzker called for additional federal funding to help states where abortion remains legal.
The first-term Democrat has made his support for abortion rights a central theme of his reelection campaign. In the November general election, he faces conservative state Sen. Darren Bailey of Xenia, who has said he is opposed to abortion in all cases except to spare the life of the mother.
* ACLU…
Governor JB Pritzker, Senate President Don Harmon and House Speaker Chris Welch today announced that they will not call a special session of the Illinois General Assembly this week to address measures Illinois can take in response to the Supreme Court overturning the landmark decision recognizing a right to abortion in Roe v. Wade. The following from the ACLU of Illinois can be attributed to Khadine Bennett, Advocacy and Intergovernmental Affairs Director for the organization:
We applaud the careful, deliberate approach announced by Governor Pritzker and the legislative leaders today aimed at adding new protections for abortion and other reproductive healthcare rights. The goal of this effort should be to put in protections that are holistic, well-researched, include the voices of providers and advocates and can withstand the inevitable challenge of anti-abortion foes in Illinois. This goal is best served by the collaborative process announced today.
Each of us should remember that a reckless majority of the Supreme Court has cast us all into uncharted waters in terms of law, the provision of services and the role of government. Given Illinois’ unique role as a leader in protecting access to abortion care, we need an approach that addresses this unprecedented situation, works best for Illinois and individuals coming to our state for care, as well as adds protections and provides resources for healthcare providers and patients. These protections and resources should be implemented and available as early as possible.
The ACLU of Illinois stands ready to work with government officials, legislators, healthcare and service providers, advocates and others to move this process forward.
