Rauner Revs Up For A Second Term

Bruce Rauner/YouTube

Gov. Bruce Rauner has made his long-awaited announcement that he is seeking re-election. The first term Republican issued a video Mondaymorning that features him riding his motorcycle through Illinois. It focuses on the agenda he has pushed since taking office, including property tax relief.     

In the video, he talks about battles waged with the General Assembly, adding that that he has won some and lost some, but “chooses to fight.”

Rauner's announcement was anticipated, and most observers expected he would run again, having already donated $50 million to his own campaign.
