Former Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner said he faced a lot of headwinds during his time in office, but didn’t want to talk about politics after his official portrait was unveiled Monday. The former one-term Republican governor had a tumultuous time in office with a more than two-year long budget impasse. Democrats who controlled both chambers still blame Rauner. Monday, Rauner told media he’d talk politics later this year when he comes back for a hunting expedition.
Rauner did talk about his signature school choice tax credit scholarship program the legislature has yet to extend. Invest In Kids is set to expire at the end of the year if lawmakers don’t lift the sunset.
Rauner served as governor from 2015 to 2019.
