Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner and his Democratic opponent JB Pritzker faced off in a debate hosted by ABC7 and held in conjunction with the League of Women Voters Wednesday night.

 

There are four candidates running for governor, but only Pritzker and Rauner will be debating. The League of Women Voters' longstanding criteria for candidates to be included requires them to be polling at 10 percent within 30 days of the debate as a gauge of voter support.

 

Only Rauner and Pritzker were above that threshold in recent polls, including one released Tuesday.

 

The other two candidates are libertarian Kash Jackson and conservative William "Sam" McCann.
