SPRINGFIELD — Gov. Bruce Rauner announced in a new campaign ad released Monday morning that he is running again.
Narrating the two-minute online video, Rauner said he’s accomplished a lot for education and criminal justice, but there’s still big things that remain unfinished.
“Illinois still needs property tax relief, real term limits and a budget that won’t bankrupt or break us,” Rauner said.
He also said he will work to reverse the recent $5 billion income tax increase that lawmakers imposed on the state when they overrode his veto.
Rauner’s recent approval of taxpayer-funded abortions and the so-called Sanctuary State legislation did upset many in his Republican base, so much so that there have been calls for another Republican to run against him in the primary.
Republican State Central Committeeman Fred Floreth said whatever happens at the primary should stay at the primary.
