Democratic Rally in Marion

Tuesday is Election Day and Illinois Democrats are hitting multiple locations across the state for Get Out To Vote rally.

Democrats from the top to the bottom of the ticket gathered in Marion Monday campaigning one last time before Tuesday’s election.

Attorney General candidate Kwame Raoul hopes the democrats win big on Tuesday.

“And I understand that a blue wave is coming through Southern Illinois”

Lt Governor candidate Juliana Stratton spoke to the crowd thanking them for supporting all the democrats across the state.

“Look at the energy that’s in this room, it’s a reminder of what we can do when we do it together.”

Up last was candidate for Governor JB Pritzker.

“Do we have some fired up democrats here or what.?”

Pritzker talked about supporting unions and banning right to work in Illinois and how Governor Rauner wants to do the opposite.

He also showed his support for all the democrats in the state.

“I’m so proud of to be running a campaign with a ticket that you know you can’t have a better ticket than we got state wide.”

The polls are open from 6am to 7pm on Election Day.
