My dear wife has asked me to write a short post about the accomplishments of the governor of our home state, J. B. Pritzker, who is receiving a Crooks & Liars Crookie "Good Guy" Award for 2024.

California Governor Gavin Newsom continues to be on the best and most skilled voices in the Democratic Party and I predict that he will be a Presidential nominee - in 2028 or 2032. That is why I nominated him as one of my picks for the Crooks and Liars 2024 GOOD GUY of the year.
