J. B. Pritzker

My wife and I were both very engaged in trying to defeat Trump. We knocked on doors in three states.

The idea of investing in entrepreneurs who are building things from scratch, where I can participate in their dream, was very, very exciting to me.

No matter how much wealth anybody has, family problems are about the same across the board.

To me, the special parts of the day - and also the ones that fit with a full-time job - are bedtime and wake-up time. So I try really hard to be there for my kids as many of those nights and mornings as I can.

I come with bad genetics, personally.

The more activity around Chicago-based companies, and the more success that entrepreneurs have in Chicago, the better we as venture capitalists in Chicago will do.

Selling online is one channel, but it's not the only channel.

We like to invest in market leaders.

The fact that my father set out on his own to build Hyatt - a business the family was not in and a business he was learning about as he was building it - is instructive.

We're trying to make money, trying to add a zero onto our net worth.

Part of being a top-20 firm is mind-share.

Let's remember that Bruce Rauner has every interest in getting stories out there that hurt Democrats.

There are many successful startup funders who are looking for ways to make a difference in the world.

I've fixed the toilet. And I've been crawling in claustrophobic places... you have to deal with that when you become a homeowner.

I do periodically ride a bus with my kids.

Just because one happens to be wealthy, it doesn't mean you are naturally any good at building an investment operation that is world-class or successful.

I grew up watching my mom and dad selling rooms in our motels. We had CEOs coming to our house so that my dad could persuade them to have their executives stay in Hyatt hotels.

The key to America's economic future is educating kids as early in their lives as we can.

Great law schools like Northwestern are here to expand the minds of their students, to allow them to achieve their personal goals, to enable them to contribute, to give back in ways that they could not without the education they receive here, and to help them make the greatest country in the world just a little more accessible, a little fairer.

I was always fascinated by politics, and I was exposed to it quite a lot.

My uncles and my aunts were outstanding. There's just no other way to say it.

My father was a very gregarious, very open guy. So every weekend, the house was full of people.

I am prepared to do whatever I can do and whatever is reasonable to make sure that it is Hillary who makes it to the White House and not Trump.

When you're governor, you've got to step up to the plate; you've got to make a proposal for a balanced budget. That's the requirement. And then you've got to sit down and negotiate if the folks that you need to work with disagree with you on points.

I've tried, in my own life, to speak up when I see harassment occurring. But I want to acknowledge that there are probably situations and instances where I could have done more. I think that's an acknowledgment that all men need to make.

Setting a tone of inclusiveness and ensuring protection for all begins at the top, whether from the White House or the State House.

I'm running for governor because I think we need to change things in Illinois.

Illinois has the opportunity to lead the country in providing more affordable health care options to its citizens.

I've been honored to take part in protests and events across Illinois, joining with thousands of you in the resistance, making calls, sending letters, and making sure Washington understands that we will not allow the ACA to be repealed.

With Donald Trump as president and Republicans in control of Congress, our healthcare is under attack.

Bruce Rauner needs to lead, and until he does, we must fight to hold him accountable.

Rauner needs to tell Illinoisans what essential health benefits he intends to keep covering in Illinois.

The basic right to quality and affordable health care is under assault by Donald Trump and Republicans in Washington.

Unfortunately, Bruce Rauner is more committed to playing politics than fighting for Illinois women and families.

Rauner stands silent as Trump assaults our basic rights.

There's no doubt that there's a public backlash against the way campaign money is raised, but I don't think the only alternative is to elect people with money.

I'm a progressive.

The challenge in multi-lateral negotiations is not to lose sight of one's over-arching goal in the midst of the cacophony of opinions at the bargaining table.

We all know Illinois has big challenges. And under Gov. Rauner, things have only gotten worse.

Health care is a human right, and single-payer health care will deliver quality, affordable care to every Illinoisan.

Illinois needs a single-payer health care system, and as governor, I will take the steps to get us there.

As an elected official, an advocate for children, and an educator, Glenn Poshard has always fought for what's right.

Let's help those in prison maintain positive connections with their community. If we truly want re-entry to be successful, and we do, people need to come back to a place that still feels like home.

Black and brown communities are significantly and disproportionately impacted by deficiencies in our criminal justice system.

You know why I'm running for governor? Because everything we care about is under siege from President Donald Trump and Bruce Rauner.

Governor Rauner talks about what he might get done or what he tried to get done. It's past time for all his talk. It's time for action. It's what I've been doing my whole life.

I am a lifelong Democrat.

It takes a tough, stand-up governor to stand up to the president of the United States - speaking out against the president, speaking out against his policies and, more than that, having actual policies that will help expand health care while... Trump is trying to diminish it for Illinois families.

Great success doesn't come in short periods of time.

Ending Iran's nuclear threat and bringing it into the international community of law-abiding nations is one of the most pressing U.S. foreign policy objectives.
