promises and he has. I voted for a more liberal candidate who had more government experience, Daniel Biss. Pritzker did buy his position as governor. He has surprised a lot of us by so far being a great governor.

I figured he couldn't be as bad as Rauner, and Pritzker has pleasantly surprised me too. I'm also pleased with Mayor Lightfoot also. I knew she wouldn't be as bad as Rahm Emanuel also.
