2026 Illinois Elections

As tensions escalate, the Illinois governor won’t rule out state redistricting in mid-decade.

Mitchell is a former Hyde Park state representative who also served as Pritzker's deputy governor.

“Belleville, SWIC and Metro East, all you who are here today, it would be my honor to serve you for another four years,” the two-term governor said on Friday.

Pritzker was scheduled to crisscross the state for a series of reelection rallies starting Thursday morning at the Grand Crossing Park Field House on the South Side of Chicago.
