J.B. Pritzker, the current Governor of Illinois, has had a diverse career, spanning business, philanthropy, and politics. Before entering public service, he founded 1871, a renowned non-profit small business incubator in Chicago, which helped establish the city as a major technology startup hub.

Pritzker was sworn in as Illinois’ 43rd governor in January 2019 and has since implemented a significant and progressive policy agenda. This includes “Rebuild Illinois,” the largest infrastructure investment in state history.

Pritzker has signed state laws that ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, raised the state minimum wage to $15 and measures that protect reproductive rights. Pritzker has been a staunch advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, promoting legislation that advances equal rights and inclusion, including for trans youth.

Pritzker is married to Mary Kathryn (MK) Pritzker, and they have two children, Teddi and Don.
