With voting underway in parts of Illinois, Illinois Public Media sat down for a conversation with Gov. JB Pritzker for an Election 2022 Special. Brian Mackey, host of The 21st, covers a wide range of topics with the incumbent in the Illinois governor's race, including COVID, corruption, and crime.
In his first term, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker ordered shutdowns during the COVID crisis, legalized recreational Cannabis, and signed criminal justice reforms into law. His policies inspired Republican State Senator Darren Bailey to challenge Pritzker in the courtroom and in the 2022 gubernatorial race.

The Republican candidate in the 2022 governor’s race is State Senator Darren Bailey. As of this airing, he has not agreed to a campaign interview.
