Former Gov. Jim Edgar on 2022, state GOP, the pandemic and vax

Jim Edgar was Governor of Illinois from 1991 to 1999. It's said he was the last governor to have voted out, he wasn't impeached, nor did he stand down after one term.

Since he's the earliest serving governor since Jim Thompson (2020) and Daniel Walker (2015) had passed away, he can talk candidly about the actions of the current Governor J.B. Pritzker. And I'm with him on one thing this pandemic is unprecedented and thus many decisions had to be made.

I'll share a tweet from CapFax regarding this piece and then share a link to the Edgar piece.

The Edgar piece from a downstate TV station. Here's video footage [VIDEO]

Edgar also speaks of the 2022 election and makes a claim for Republicans that they have to nominate someone with an appeal to the rest of the state beyond the primary. And that Pritzker is beatable although from a lot of sources I see that Illinois is likely a safe seat for the Democrat Pritzker. Things could change of course.
