Chicago Heights, IL – Today, State Senator Toi Hutchinson endorsed JB Pritzker for governor at an event in Chicago Heights. Senator Hutchinson joins U.S. Senators Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth, Secretary of State Jesse White, Illinois Treasurer Mike Frerichs, Comptroller Susana Mendoza, the Illinois AFL-CIO, and over 30 individual unions in support of JB Pritzker for governor.

“Senator Toi Hutchinson is a genuine leader, someone who cares deeply about the issues and strives to do right by the people she represents. I am incredibly proud to have her support in our campaign for governor,” said JB Pritzker. “Juliana and I are focused on big ideas and getting big things done for all families. From educating our young, to expanding healthcare and creating jobs, I know that with Senator Toi Hutchinson on our side, working families can count on us to move our state forward.”

“I’ve spent the last few months getting to know JB. Asking hard questions of him and his campaign staff,” said State Senator Toi Hutchinson. “I took my time in endorsing him because I wanted to be sure. I’m proud to endorse JB and Juliana because I believe that they are the team we need to turn this state around. The challenges we face are too big to think small. That’s why I’m here and that’s why I am standing with JB and Juliana who will fight to get us back on the right track.”

Local State Representative Anthony DeLuca also endorsed JB Pritzker, saying: “As state representative and as a former Mayor of Chicago Heights, I’m committed to local government and fully funding our schools. JB Pritzker and my colleague Juliana Stratton offer a vision that will take our state in the right direction. I offer my full support to their campaign to create jobs and to grow our economy.”
