issued the following announcement on Aug. 4
Paul Schimpf, Republican candidate for Governor of Illinois, issued the following statement in response to Pritzker's mask mandate for P-12 children and mandatory vaccination order for state workers announced today:
"JB Pritzker’s mandatory vaccination order for state workers is inconsistent with the civil liberties that I spent 24 years on active duty defending. Furthermore, his P-12 education mask mandate usurps the authority of parents, school board members, and superintendents, further undermining confidence in the rule of law. I vehemently disagree with Governor Pritzker’s action today."
