House Democrats decided that the failed status quo is acceptable by electing a top Madigan defender and apologist as the next Speaker of the House.

Rather than help struggling small businesses and the thousands of Illinoisans that rely on those businesses staying afloat, Pritzker would rather put his interests first to fill the state’s bottom line.

If Governor Pritzker spent as much time governing as he does blaming others for his own failures, maybe some of these issues could have been resolved before they even started.

The continued endorsement of Mike Madigan by Illinois House Democrats is shameless and a slap in the face to the people of Illinois.

This is just the latest reminder that Illinois Democrats are only interested in serving themselves and not the people they were elected to represent.
