ILGOP Statement on DGA Ad Spending in Republican Primary

It’s been reported that starting tomorrow, the Democratic Governors Association (DGA) – which has received more than $3 million from JB Pritzker – will begin airing television ads to interfere in the Republican gubernatorial primary race. Illinois Republican Party Chairman Don Tracy has released the following statement in response:

“The DGA and the Pritzker campaign, like everyone else that does polling, is watching in real time as Governor JB Pritzker’s re-election chances plummet under the considerable weight of his own failures and extreme agenda. The Pritzker campaign is desperate and has hatched a plan to launder Pritzker’s inherited wealth through the DGA to begin running ads to interfere in the nomination of our Republican nominee.

It’s up to every person in Illinois, including the media, to call out this charade for what it is – a desperate plan from a desperate man with a lot of money.

DGA, let Republicans pick our own nominee. Too scared to play fair?”
