All four candidates for governor shared a stage this week for the first of three televised debates. Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and his Democratic challenger, J.B. Pritzker, picked up right where their mudslinging TV ads left off.
Rauner called Pritzker “deceitful” and scoffed at his “inherited wealth,” while Pritzker called the incumbent a “liar” and a “failure.” It remains to be seen whether this will be the only debate appearance of Libertarian candidate Kash Jackson and Republican state Sen. Sam McCann, who’s running as a Conservative Party candidate.
Brian Mackey hosts with regular panelist Charlie Wheeler and guests Doug Finke of The State Journal-Register and Rick Pearson of the Chicago Tribune and WGN radio’s The Sunday Spin.
