Governor JB Pritzker is running for reelection.
Pritzker made the announcement he will seek a second term as Illinois’ governor Monday on Twitter.
“Big news: I’m running for re-election,” he wrote. “We’ve been through a lot, and I’ve been so proud to see Illinoisans come together during the toughest of times. I’m excited to fight for the state I love with [Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton], and there’s no limit to what we can do going forward.”
In June, Pritzker hinted to ABC7 Political Reporter Craig Wall that he was considering not seeking a second term.
