I've never felt better about living in this state than I have since he's been governor. He has definitely exceeded my expectations!

I had the good fortune to meet him when he was campaigning for the Dem nomination. Our local Indivisible group invited each of the Democratic candidates to come and speak so we could learn more about them. Pritzker was the only one whose event I was able to attend, and my mind was pretty well made up that day. I was THAT impressed with his sincerity and genuine concern for the issues facing the state, and he has proved me right many times over.

It wasn't until after he'd been governor for a while that I learned about his role in working with Holocaust survivors to build the Illininois Holocaust Museum, and that impressed me even more:
