There is a lot to discuss with regard to the election, and I know many of my readers have read a number of articles on the topic.

Below are just some topline thoughts.

Settle down, Governor. Democrats may have had successful midterm elections, and you yourself won your gubernatorial race in ILLINOIS, but that doesn’t mean you get to dictate what happens in the United States Congress.

And don’t forget, Republicans are still in control until January.

Pritzker has 200 items he believes Democrats should tackle immediately and accomplish swiftly. He is obviously launching his 2028 presidential campaign.

If you’re fed up with the avalanche of problems that the Supermajority Democrat Party has unleashed on Illinoisans, get out and vote Republican. Even if you’re not energized by all of the ‘R’ candidates on the ballot, there needs to be a seismic shift in attitude in this state to get some common sense and accountability back in the game.

Don’t forget to educate yourself on the sneaky money grabs that are at the tail end of the ballot,

Your Vote Matters

Tomorrow’s election will determine the direction of the country, state, and local governments for the next 2-4 years, and possibly longer. People should carefully consider who they choose to represent them in every office from forest preserve to the U.S. Senate. Voters should carefully consider candidates’ qualifications for the positions they seek, their past records if previously elected, and what they say they are going to do once in office. These officeholders will be making consequential decisions on you,

Pope Leo XIV is making national headlines again, this time as the first pope in history to vote in a U.S. general election. That’s likely because he’s the first pope in history eligible to vote in a U.S. election. But the point still stands, Robert Prevost, the Pope’s name on the voter roll in Will County, took the time to cast his ballot and exercised his right as a U.S.

Governor Pritzker recently announced that he wants to spend $156 MILLION on a housing initiative called Building Up Illinois Developments (BUILD), aimed at addressing the state’s ‘housing shortage’ and improving ‘affordability’.
