* 2017…
Aurora officials are pleased that Gov. Bruce Rauner has signed a bill which will limit how local and state police can cooperate with federal immigration authorities.
In a statement Monday, Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin said he was pleased to see the bill become law. He noted that Aurora Police Chief Kristen Ziman was at the bill signing ceremony.
“Aurora Police Chief Kristen Ziman and I joined with other leaders throughout the state to support this bill and encouraged the governor to sign it into law,” Irvin said in the statement. “It is the right, just and fair thing to do.
“The Illinois TRUST Act will forbid local police from holding people for immigration purposes without court-ordered warrants,” Irvin said in the statement. “It forbids local police from stopping, searching or arresting anyone based on their immigration or citizenship status. If someone is going to be detained in Illinois, it should be because an actual crime has occurred, not because of how they look, what they believe or what paperwork they may or may not have.”
* That Irvin statement is referenced in this new spot by Dan Proft’s People Who Play by the Rules PAC…

Quite the dog whistle.

Rate it an A for those who can hear it.
An F if you for decent folks.

It’s weird that they didn’t have someone voice Irvin’s actual quotes.
If you weren’t really watching all you hear is a sad tail of someone who lost a family member to murder and then a pause and “wait Irvin can’t be trusted who?”

Strong A+
It tells the truth about his views on law enforcement. I wouldn’t call it a dog whistle. The ad just states his views on law enforcement.

I’m surprised it’s taken them so long to get to the “sanctuary city” hit. I guess they’ve been saving it for the final push.
Like most Proft ads, this one is a little off. I get that they’re trying to build suspense, but it takes too long for the Irvin-is-bad message to be delivered. They might have been better off focusing on a crime that actually happened in Aurora.
Right topic to hit him on with GOP voters, but not executed so well. C+

I never voted for a republican before but I would prefer the Baily and Max Soloman type of republican over the Rauner/Irvin type.

That’s an air raid siren.

When he first announced my main fear as a Dem was that he looked and sounded like the type of guy that people would vote for. I felt the same way in 2015 when I heard John Kasich speak. I was like, ‘uh-oh, here’s a Republican who doesn’t sound insane.” Kasich never took off and Irvin just completely ditched everything about himself that made me fear him.

It’s a B+ ad. The message is on point, if you’re predisposed to get outraged over this kind of stuff, but the production value is lacking. It definitely builds on the narrative that Irvin is not a real Republican as presently defined.

Old, angry, white, racists will love this ad.
For them, it’s an A+.
Did I hear right. Did he say Richard Irvins?
Not a criticism, just did I hear that right?
Not a surprising ad, remember the Ives ads
For it’s ugly underbelly targeted group? It’s an A+
Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Jun 10, 22 @ 1:31 pm
I think it is a B and that is just because they should have had words said and not just put on screen. it feels unfinished. but for their side the message is powerful, and portends things to come in the general.

== Did he say Richard Irvins? ==
Think so. Give the ad extra points for Chicago street cred…adding an “s” to the end of a word. Jewels…Soldiers Field…Irvins.

Have we gone over enough what a dumb name for a PAC that is?
Comment by BilboSwaggins Friday, Jun 10, 22 @ 1:44 pm
A for the deplorable, twisted content
D- for the production values
Comment by King Louis XVI Friday, Jun 10, 22 @ 1:47 pm
C. Missed opportunity not using a sound clip from Irvin himself to really get people fired up that get fired up by that stuff.

“Hello, President Trump, can you see this? Yo, over here, Bailey needs your endorsement.”
Heard “Irvins” also, the second time. Correct spelling is for elitist liberals like Irvin and his mate JB “great job” Pritzker.
It’s an excellent ad for today’s GOP base, rated A. It may be racist, but it authentically captures what many in the GOP base think and feel. Many don’t care if it upsets liberals or others, that’s part of the appeal. Irvin’s past is not something to be looked favorably upon at all by the target audience.

Like it or not , the Ad does reflect the very real consequences illegals have on innocent people every day.
Comment by expiredB-1 Friday, Jun 10, 22 @ 2:36 pm
===real consequences illegals have===
Illegals are the only folks who drive drunk?
This ad isn’t about a horrific death perpetrated by a drunk driver.
Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Jun 10, 22 @ 3:09 pm
===illegals===
People cannot be illegal. This term is used to dehumanize people. It’s offensive and vile and very un-Christian.
As Wordslinger used to say, “see you in Church.”

“This ad isn’t about a horrific death perpetrated by a drunk driver.”
Obviously, because that would be the ad a democrat would use against Richard Irvin, given Mr Irvin’s law firm website.
