Just now finding out he’s a zillionaire, but I guess I’m gonna have to make exceptions for some zillionaires…this time.

I think you might also like (maybe even love) the oyster farmer who is going to send Susan Collins packing. Watch his speech from yesterday at the Fighting Oligarchy Tour (with Bernie). It made my heart sing.

He’s in good company with progressive wealthy “elites” like FDR & Johnson.

I'll start cheering when he starts breaking off that cheddar for some civilian defense cadres.

He's my Emotional Support Billionaire. He proves that billionaires don't HAVE to be evil. Most of them just are.

My ex worked for one of his family businesses. Very good people.

He is the best governor we've had in my lifetime. His actions saved lives during Covid. He is a great governor.

I didn't know he had that much, I knew he had money. He's one that you sure can't tell he's rich. He has common sense and stands for the good of the people. I'm sure not innocent 😇 but definitely my favorite 2nd to Newsom.

I’m so very proud to have JB as my Governor. His and his family’s wealth shouldn’t be a factor in deciding if it’s worth having him fight for us. He’s willing to fight for us and confront the fascists head on. It is ok to question his wardrobe choices though…☺️

She is the cousin of current Illinois governor J. B. Pritzker and former US Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker.[2] en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jennife...

But at least he has an actual brick and mortar business, not some ephemeral meme stock or bitcoin.

JB is pretty fair person. He allowed a ballot initiative in Illinois to get rid of our current Flat Tax system, and switch to a progressive system that would have raised taxes on the rich. Unfortunately, it didn’t pass. Rich lobby groups flooded the airwaves with tons of attack ads

The extra-weird thing is his billions are from ... HOTELS. Where have we heard that before? Just goes to prove it's not the hotels or the money that are the problem.

I know, right? It feels wrong, but I like him too

I like him too. But, with zillionaires, I’m always skeptical. Good people don’t become zillionaires. You have to be willing to harm to get that kind of money.

Most of the 11 Pritzker billionaires are generous philanthropists with their own foundations. They’ve generously supported medicine, health, social justice, the arts, children & families & equity causes. Instilled family values? Seems different from most bazillionaires we hear from these days.

His family owned Hyatt Hotels. There seems to be a number of “good humans” in the Pritzker family, including the Govenor JB. He’s doing a great job and standing up to MAGA/Trump. But I really don’t want mega rich people in government.

FDR famously wealthy, dont count people out just because theyre rich!

But you can count on 99.99% of them to vote and act in their wealth's interest, not in the interest of fairness or democracy.

he's a great governor. We had Rauner - another rich guy before him. Think Trump w/o Project 2025. Pritzker cleaned up the state after it was sunk so low that we were underwater.

Sadly, politicians almost have to be wealthy to get elected. Another political reform the USA needs.

He promised his mother that he would protect the vulnerable. He’s a good one.

this was the clip that won me over. I think the fact that he has the money to fight against other billionaires makes him an unstoppable force for good.

He's heir to the Hyatt Hotel fortune. Not all ultra-wealthy suck; it's how they use their wealth and treat other people. I'm proud of my governor. 👍
