And we are just over 24 hours from the polls opening
in Illinois for Election Day here.
Candidates in Illinois right now over
the weekend working overtime to get out the vote.
Governor Pritzker made multiple campaign stops across the state.
He is urging the public to send a message to Washington.
Voters in Illinois are deciding 17 congressional seats,
choosing a U.S. senator, a governor,
and they're going to be voting in their city,
county, and statewide races.
Democrats can control the Congress.
They need to go to Washington with an agenda
that is truly going to raise wages for people
and lower prices.
And we've gotta make sure that we're fighting
to protect people's rights against Donald
Trump.
In Chicago, voters are choosing the leaders
of Chicago public schools, including
School board president.
And Republican candidate for governor,
Darren Bailey, didn't hold any events on Sunday.
His calendar, on his campaign website anyway,
doesn't mention anything for today either.
He plans to hold his watch party
for returns tomorrow night at a Holiday Inn in Effingham.
