Rebuking Illinois Governor JB Pritzker
Fellow Patriots,
I stand before you today to address a grave injustice perpetrated by Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, who has taken the unprecedented step of barring individuals associated with the January 6 events from state employment. This action is not only a direct assault on the principles of justice and due process but also an affront to the very fabric of our Republic.
Governor Pritzker’s decree imposes perpetual punishment on individuals who have already faced the legal consequences of their actions, disregarding the fundamental American belief in redemption and second chances. This is a dangerous overreach, reminiscent of authoritarian regimes, not the land of the free.
Moreover, this move is a blatant attempt to suppress political dissent, targeting those who dared to exercise their constitutional rights. By unilaterally determining who is fit for public service based on political beliefs, Governor Pritzker is weaponizing state power against citizens, undermining the democratic principles our nation was founded upon.
In stark contrast, President Donald J. Trump, recognizing the miscarriage of justice, granted full pardons and commutations to those involved in the January 6 events, initiating a process of national healing and reconciliation. This act underscores the President’s commitment to justice and the American ideals of forgiveness and unity.
As your candidate for State Senate in District 16, I pledge to champion legislation that protects our citizens from such draconian measures. I will fight to ensure that no individual is discriminated against based on their political beliefs or past actions for which they have been pardoned. We must safeguard the rights of all Americans to provide for their families and contribute to society without fear of retribution.

This is not just a political issue; it is a moral imperative. We must stand united against any form of governmental overreach that threatens our liberties. I call upon leaders across this great nation to denounce Governor Pritzker’s actions and reaffirm their commitment to the Constitution and the principles of justice and equality.
Together, we will ensure that the rights of all citizens are protected, and that our nation remains a beacon of freedom and justice.
