President Obama: "JB gets things done"

"I am proud to endorse JB Pritzker to be the next governor of my home state of Illinois, and let me tell you why. It’s simple, JB gets things done. When folks said Illinois couldn't be a leader in creating high-tech jobs, JB thought we could, and he started a tech incubator that's helped entrepreneurs create hundreds of new companies and more than 7,000 good jobs. When JB saw that too many of our school kids were going hungry, he made it a personal mission to change that. And working with Illinois nonprofits, he helped expand a program we started to make sure more than 200,000 low-income Illinois kids have access to school breakfast. I know JB, I trust JB, and that's who he is. Someone who's always thinking about how he can make a difference. Someone who identifies the right problems and brings the right people together to solve them, and that's something we can use in Illinois. JB will be a governor who looks out for all of us. From downstate towns to northern suburbs to the neighborhoods of Chicago, he’ll work as hard as he can to strengthen opportunity for every Illinoisan today and into the future. so, I'm asking you to join me in supporting and voting for JB Pritzker for the next governor of Illinois. Thanks."
