Tuesday, May 30, 2017 * I sent this question to all of the active Democratic gubernatorial candidates the other day… How would you best sum up your campaign’s major theme at this moment in time? Please limit your answer to one or two sentences. * The responses in the order they were received. From Ameya Pawar’s campaign… Unity - Bringing together black, brown, and white communities around a new deal that is fair, just, and equal. Rejecting wealth worship and a plutocracy that pits the rest of us against each other to fight over scraps. * Bob Daiber’s campaign… The Daiber campaign focuses on supporting the rights of working men and women in All of Illinois. For this reason, we have signed a pledge to say No to right-to-work in Illinois. * JB Prizker’s campaign… Bruce Rauner is a complete failure as Governor. JB Pritzker has been guided by his progressive values throughout his career in business and work in the community. His record of bringing people together and ability to get things done make JB the right leader to get Illinois back on track. * Chris Kennedy campaign… Radical change. Chris Kennedy knows that electing a new governor is only a first step to getting Illinois on the right track. Our state needs to go much further - change the way we fund schools, tax our citizens, and restore confidence in our government. * Sen. Daniel Biss… Springfield has looked out for the rich and well-connected, and the rest of us are paying the price. As a former math professor, not a millionaire, I’m going to solve our problems the right way — by making sure that millionaires and billionaires finally pay their fair share to support an economy that creates opportunity in all communities across the state. Rate ‘em. * Related… * Question 1: Marijuana legalization * Question 2: Where would they cut? * Question 3: Municipal bankruptcy - Posted by Rich Miller
