    Campaign finance records show Democratic billionaire J.B. Pritzker has spent millions on advertising so far, that have ranged in topics from casting the Republican incumbent as a failed governor to declaring his love of puppies.https://n.pr/2yyMJGE

        I’d rather a candidate talking about puppies than a reality talk show host, two years later, still performing “lock her up” and “build the wall” to the same exact crowds, with the same exact boring delivery.

        His YouTube ads are inoffensive. Also the current gov is a dumpster fire of a human. Might actually eat puppies

        Why not forget about the crappy marketing campaign and spend the funds on making Illinois a state people are actually proud to live in...

        This should be illegal. Why do they want to be governor bad enough to spend millions more than the job pays?

        Trump doesn’t have a dog, so he might be on to something there.

        I don’t watch any of the political advertisements. Both sides spin and give false info. Give that money to a nonprofit. Waste of money otherwise.

        This might be the lamest scandal a politician has had in years. At least since a tan suit or fancy mustard on a burger.
