Gov. Pritzker mentions Veterans who are in a homeless situation. Here in Florida the Fort Lauderdale Legion Post has taken responsibility by paying limited rent for applicants, a program accomplished by Federal funds until this year.

While effective to 'save taxpayers' money", it is not a long term financial solution for a local population of over two million. As a Veteran myself, I swore a vow to protect the U.S. Constitution; are federal policies now doing so?

As Social Security appears to be one of the next benefits under attack, I have a concern.

As a Republican, it is recalled that Biden spend four (4) years to say that federals elections were sound. After seeing Musk and his team of "teckies" at work, I have doubts since four out of five swing states voted for Trump narrowly.

It takes millions of dollars and puts great personal stress upon a presidential candidate and his family to stand for election. My question to the Governor is: are you willing to take on such a burden?

Finally, your story about ancestors who escaped Russia reminds me of an account of three (in-law, not blood)) adventurous relatives who left Odesa for America. Though their descendants are now scattered, the three brothers wound up in early 20th century Chicago to establish their families.

Such adventure and hope for the future that they had is needed today.
