Pritzker is casting a wide net for support, an effort aided by a personal fortune that can underwrite months’ worth of TV ads and a robust campaign operation.
Four years ago, Pritzker encouraged voters to "think big" about challenges facing Illinois. This time, his mantra could well be "play it safe and leave nothing to chance."
The Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs said 23 staff and 42 residents have tested positive for COVID-19 at the Illinois Veterans’ Home at LaSalle. No one has required hospitalization.
The veterans’ home some 95 miles southwest of Chicago is the same facility where 36 veterans died of COVID-19 between November 2020 and January 2021.
