Illinoisans voted in the primary election as COVID-19 continued its spread across the state.

Sean Crawford hosts with regular panelists Charlie Wheeler and Brian Mackey, and guest Amanda Vinicky of Chicago Tonight, which airs on PBS station WTTW.

Note: This week’s program was recorded before Gov. J.B. Pritzker issued a “stay-at-home” order on Friday afternoon.

Brian Mackey hosts The 21st Show and formerly reported on state government.
Amanda Vinicky moved to Chicago Tonight on WTTW-TV PBS in 2017.
The former director of the Public Affairs Reporting (PAR) graduate program is Professor Charles N. Wheeler III, a veteran newsman who came to the University of Illinois at Springfield following a 24-year career at the Chicago Sun-Times.
