(Westmont, IL) — One of Illinois’s largest teachers’ unions is choosing a candidate in next year’s Democratic race for governor. The Illinois Federation of Teachers on Saturday voted to endorse J.B. Pritzker in the Democratic primary. But the union is looking to the November race as well. The IFT’s Dan Montgomery says while Governor Rauner cut funding for schools, Pritzker is promising to spend more than ever on classrooms and teachers across the state.
