    Read excerpt

    Illinois is still moving the chains in stadium talks to keep the Bears from jumping the state line to Indiana, officials said Thursday. Gov. JB Pritzker met with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, Bears minority owner Pat Ryan and the top legislative leaders who have been wrangling for several years over the property tax incentives the team is seeking to break ground in Arlington Heights. It was Goodell’s second meeting in as many months with Illinois officials, while Ryan — who bankrolled his name

    Incumbent Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker, seeking a rare third term as Illinois governor, squares off with Republican nominee Darren Bailey and independent candidate Collin Corbett.

JB Pritzker. Speaking to reporters Sunday before returning from a trip to Ireland, Trump said of his longtime supporter: “I’ve already endorsed him. I’m all for Bailey.” Bailey rallied alongs

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    It’s deja vu from 2022 at the top of the ticket in this November’s race for Illinois governor, but there is one new face trying to shape the conversation. Independent candidate Collin Corbett says he’s providing the middle ground many voters yearn for between incumbent Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker and Republican nominee Darren Bailey, who lost soundly four years ago on a hardline conservative platform.
