Jesse Sullivan in 2022 IL Governor's race
On Abortion:
Pro-life, let's try to reduce the number of abortions
[On bipartisanship]: "I am pro-life, but I also realize in this state we have a strong supermajority of Democrats in the legislature," he said. "I'm also someone who likes to get good outcomes. So how are we going to reduce the total number of abortions
over time in the state, which is even Hillary Clinton has stated as a goal of hers. So it's working together with Democrats, Republicans to try to do that.""Not only legislatively," he followed up, "It's trying to look at adoption, foster care."

On Government Reform:
Biden won in 2020, but we need to fix trust in elections
[On 2020 election]: "Joe Biden won the race. Joe Biden is the president of the United States and Donald Trump had his day in court," he said. "What I'll say about election integrity is that right now, you have people on both sides, Democrat, Republican--
it switches from election to election--that feel like our elections, there's something wrong with them. I'm a technology person & I feel like this is the 21st century. Why are we still having problems of trust around our elections? We need to fix that."

On War & Peace:
Accused of embellishing his service in Afghanistan
Although Jesse Sullivan, who is not a veteran and has never been on active duty, should be commended for having worked in Afghanistan as a civilian contractor, his claim to have led combat patrols flies in the face of
Department of Defense regulations and established practices. He should correct the misleading language on his website.
