(Springfield, IL) — Both of Illinois’ big teachers’ unions are now on J.B. Pritzker’s side in the race for governor. The Illinois Education Association yesterday endorsed Pritzker. The Illinois Federation of Teachers tossed their support toward the Democratic frontrunner late last year. It’s not as if anyone expected the teachers’ unions to endorse Governor Rauner, but the endorsements are noteworthy because of the weight they may carry in the crowded Democratic primary this March.
