I love that @GovPritzker goes all in for Halloween.

[Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker]

What are you doing in my swamp?

One of our favorite traditions at the Illinois Governor’s Mansion is passing out candy to the trick-or-treaters.

Thanks for coming out early to celebrate Halloween with MK and I!
