* I’m coming late to these ads. Sorry. Press release…
Today, Ted Dabrowski, conservative candidate for governor, released a new ad that will air on television, digital platforms and radio. Dabrowski takes Gov. J.B. Pritzker up on his challenge that dares anyone to end his protection of illegal alien criminals. Pritzker’s protection comes at the expense of the safety of Illinois families and literally at the expense of residents in terms of taxpayer-funded health care, rent and college-tuition for those illegally residing in Illinois.
Dabrowski, the son of parents who emigrated to the United States legally from Poland and Ecuador, is the candidate endorsed by Angel Parents like Joe Abraham, Katie Abraham’s father, because he represents the sharpest contrast to Pritzker on immigration and public safety issues. He is the only candidate for governor who has committed to go all-in on repeal of the state’s sanctuary law and a restoration of the rule of law in Illinois.
“If you come for my people, you come through me.” (Pritzker)
That was Pritzker’s challenge to President Trump.
But who are Pritzker’s people?
They’re the more than 1,700 illegal alien predators Pritzker helped escape from ICE.
They’re the people whose health care, rent and college tuition you pay for.
Well, I have a message for you, Governor.
I’ll be coming for you and going through you.
Your days and the days of sanctuary living for “your people” are over.
* And now for something completely different…
Today, State Representative Margaret Croke released new ads in her campaign for Illinois State Comptroller. The ads highlight Croke’s commitment to increasing transparency, eliminating waste, and ensuring taxpayer dollars are spent efficiently. “That’s A Lot” and “Hide and Seek” are now running across digital platforms statewide.
“I’m running for Comptroller because I want Illinois to be the best place for every child to receive a quality education, find a job, and raise their own family, because that’s what I want for my own three children,” said State Representative Margaret Croke. “As Comptroller, I will be a responsible steward of taxpayer dollars and lead everyday with transparency, accountability, and efficiency. I look forward to continuing to share that message with Illinoisans across the state in the final weeks of this campaign.”
Margaret Croke: The Illinois state budget is over $55 billion a year.
Mary Pearl Croke: That’s a lot!
Margaret Croke: But do you know how it’s actually spent?
Hattie Croke: I don’t!
Margaret Croke: I’m Margaret Croke.
PJ Croke: She’s our mom!
Margaret Croke: As a State Representative, I worked to make things more affordable by eliminating the tax on groceries. Now I’m running for Comptroller to get rid of the waste in Springfield and use your tax dollars wisely. Because as a mom of three, I know something about oversight.
* Juliana Stratton highlights her ties to Gov. Pritkzer in her new TV ad. Press release…
Today, Illinois Future PAC announced the launch of a new broadcast and digital ad highlighting Juliana Stratton’s record of delivering real results for Illinois families and her readiness to take that fight to the U.S. Senate.
The new spot underscores Illinois’ leadership in the face of inaction in Washington. Under Gov. Pritzker and Lt. Gov. Stratton’s leadership, the state raised wages, strengthened gun safety laws, and protected abortion rights as Congress remained gridlocked. The ad draws a clear contrast between progress made in Illinois and a broken system in Washington while making the case that Juliana is the leader prepared to bring Illinois’ momentum to the U.S. Senate.
Juliana Stratton is running for U.S. Senate on a progressive agenda to raise the minimum wage to $25 an hour, expand healthcare to all, lower costs, protect fundamental rights, and take on a broken system that too often leaves working families behind.
The ad will air across broadcast, cable, digital, and streaming platforms.
Most poor people are not lazy. They are not Black. They are not Brown. They are mostly White and female and young. But whether White, Black or Brown, a hungry baby’s belly turned inside out is the same color– color it pain, color it hurt, color it agony.
Most poor people are not on welfare. Some of them are illiterate and can’t read the want-ad sections. And when they can, they can’t find a job that matches their address.
They work hard every day. I know, I live amongst them. They catch the early bus. They work every day. They raise other people’s children. They work every day.
They clean the streets. They work every day. They drive dangerous cabs. They change the beds you slept in in these hotels last night and can’t get a union contract. They work every day.
No, no, they’re not lazy. Someone must defend them because it’s right and they cannot speak for themselves. They work in hospitals. I know they do. They wipe the bodies of those who are sick with fever and pain. They empty their bedpans. They clean out their commodes. No job is beneath them, and yet when they get sick they cannot lie in the bed they made up every day. America, that is not right. We are a better nation than that!
“They catch the early bus” is a lesson that has always stuck with me.
All respect.
