“Now, we have a choice. We can throw in the towel, walk away and leave our future to the same corrupt, career politicians, or we can fight,” Rauner says in the video.

“I choose to fight.”

The video shows the governor riding a motorcycle, as he provides a voiceover calling for term limits and property tax relief.

“Four years ago, I crisscrossed our state, looked people in the eye, and promised to fight business as usual,” Rauner adds.

Rauner was elected to serve as Illinois’s governor in 2014. 

In August, he signed a bill protecting undocumented immigrants from arrest over their immigration status alone, a move which came as the Justice Department seeks to crack down on so-called sanctuary cities.
