Greater Godfrey Democrats’ Nita Whitten and Illinois Attorney General candidate Bob Fioretti

Nita Whitten, treasurer of the Greater Godfrey Democrats, discusses the group’s efforts to encourage local civic engagement and support Democratic candidates ahead of Election Day. She describes canvassing, the organization’s monthly community meetings, and its endorsements of Rosie Brown, Marcy Gildert Murphy, Rachel Bowerly and Jennifer Todd. Whitten also talks about the group’s goal of bringing more contested races and political conversation to Godfrey.

The program then features Republican candidate Bob Fioretti discussing his campaign for Illinois attorney general, his legal and public-service background, and his views on the responsibilities of the office and statewide issues including public safety, law enforcement and government accountability. His statements are presented as his campaign positions, not as decisions or findings by the state.
