Gov. JB Pritzker said Madison County is just as important to Illinois as Chicago is. "It’s also, frankly, too easy to let partisanship and regional differences divide us,” said Pritzker. “The idea that someplace in Illinois wants to kick out another place in Illinois should not be on the ballot. It shouldn't be something that's part of a lexicon and discussion of politicians. We're one state.”
