JB Pritzker pressed Congress to act after the Democratic victory in the midterm elections, an outcome he described as a 'blue tsunami.' Immigration reform stood first among the demands he put before lawmakers. He also called for higher wages for working people. Universal health care completed the list of measures he wants passed. 'It is time to act,' he declared in the wake of the results. The appeal positions the post-election period as the moment for Congress to deliver on these fronts.
