Friends, let me be clear, Richard Irvin is a lying liberal who has voted Democrat in every major election. He is backed by the failed establishment and is afraid to say where he stands on protecting life, defending the second amendment, and every other important issue he’s not trying to mislead you about on TV.

No one in this world doubts I’m a true conservative. Every time there has been a tough fight, I’ve taken it on. While Irvin was hugging JB Pritzker and locking down his city and the others in this race were doing nothing, I was standing up and fighting JB Pritzker over his lockdowns to defend YOUR FREEDOMS.

I have prioritized working families and taxpayers over special interests, demanded election integrity, fought for life and the second amendment, and supported President Trump in EVERY election. I’ve always fought for our conservative principles.

In 2008, Conservative Rush Limbaugh, myself, and thousands of other Republicans helped bring chaos to the Democratic Primary to help Republicans in November.
They are now lying and trying to fool you because they are afraid of the movement we are building to win. I’m a lifelong Republican who has never supported a Democrat.

I’m always ready for the fight, and I’m not backing down. With your help, I will beat two Democrats in this Republican Primary and then fire JB Pritzker in November. It’s time to send the failed establishment packing and take back our party and state.

Join our movement, and together, we will reform Springfield and restore Illinois.

Still not fully buying that Operation Chaos explanation.
