Thank you, @GovPritzker, for lowering our gasoline prices by... check notes. Raising sales taxes on gasoline on August 1st, 2026. Raise the gas tax again on January 1st, 2027. Raise the gas tax again on July 1st, 2027.

I just voted for JB Pritzker for Governor, and Democrats up and down the ballot. I can’t believe anyone wants to change direction. The truth is, Illinois is doing great. The highest taxes and the lowest state credit rating? That takes dedication to our values! We could have used more of that $170 billion in tax hikes since 2017 to pay down debt. Instead, Illinois led the nation in spending growth during Pritzker's term. That’s investing in people! Why let yesterday’s bills interfere with tomorrow’s promises? JB doubled the state gas tax and made future increases automatic. That’s what I call sustainable funding! Some people still complain about potholes, bridges, and our national ranking not improving, but infrastructure takes time. Fortunately, the tax increases don’t have to wait. We believe corporations should pay their fair share. Unless they’re negotiating an incentive package, like the $536M announced for Gotion, the Chinese battery-making company. In that case, working families should help cover the cost. That’s economic development! Small businesses should try being large enough to negotiate. Thank god the Invest in Kids scholarships expired on his watch. We need to protect public schools from competition! Poor people should just become richer if they want school choice. Protect the teachers' union monopoly at all costs. JB repealed Illinois’ Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act and protected abortion after viability even when her life isn’t threatened. Nine months? In labor? Compassion towards women shouldn’t have a due date, or be conditioned to a health need! Pritzker signed gerrymandered maps. Politicians should pick voters, not the other way around. Protecting our Democratic majorities protects democracy. We can’t advance our agenda if voters keep getting in the way. Some people complain that Illinois lost more than half a million net residents to other states during the Pritzker administration. I call that sharing our prosperity! Other states get experienced workers and taxpayers, and the rest of us get the opportunity to contribute even more. Compassion, investment, and four more years of competent Democratic leadership. The results speak for themselves! I also voted for every tax-hike referendum on the ballot, and you should, too. Illinois needs to maintain our #1 tax burden ranking somehow. And socialist programs come with a price tag. JB should run for President and bring these results to the whole country!💙🗳️
