I didn’t expect much from Pritzger when he was elected governor. He was succeeding an absolute disaster for the state and all I wanted was to see he could get a budget through the General Assembly. His leadership during COVID made me a fan
maybe as real as a billionaire can get, but at the end of the day, still a billionaire. i'll still take whatever support we can get from him, don't get me wrong.
I met him once at a campaign event where I was running for a local county board seat (that I was 100% going to lose and knew it) and he was visiting. Shook his hand and he asked me "What can I do to help you?".
Three months ago, he wasn't on my short-list of presidential hopefuls I was interested in. That was, as the kids say, my bad. He *does* seem like the real deal.

He is incredibly genuine and caring.
