Illinois Republicans Run Attack Ad Against Possible Gubernatorial Candidate

Illinois Public Radio

Illinois Republicans are already attacking a possible Democratic candidate for governor who hasn’t even announced if he’s running.

An ad made by the Illinois Republican Party focuses on former Governor Rod Blagojevich being secretly recorded by federal agents - wondering aloud if JB Pritzker would help him.

Pritzker is not on the call - and was never accused of wrongdoing.

Pritzker - along with several other Democrats - have said they’re thinking of running for governor in 2018. But nobody has officially declared their candidacy.
