Governor Pritzker is worth $3.7 Billion. Why doesn't he pledge to use his wealth to attract researchers who had their NIH funding cut by Trump/Musk/RFK, and have them move to Illinois? According to US Census estimates released earlier this month, Illinois' net population in 2024 increased by only 11,664, with over 56,000 people moving out of Illinois to other states. The Pritzer family as a whole is incredibly wealthy. Governor Pritzker (and the Pritzker tribe) should be personally investing in Illinois' future, and thereby transforming the state into a health research powerhouse.
