Thank you to everyone who was part of and voted for our campaign. I will never forget you.

Wednesday, November 4, 2026 Good afternoon, Illinois. First and foremost, I want to say thank you. Thank you to the more than 1.5 million Illinois voters who placed their trust in me and supported our campaign for Attorney General. Yesterday, the people of Illinois made their voices heard. While this is not the outcome we worked so hard to achieve, I respect the decision of the voters, and today I formally concede this election. I congratulate Attorney General Kwame Raoul on his reelection and sincerely hope he will listen to the concerns of the people we met throughout this campaign. I am incredibly proud of what we accomplished. Our campaign has a projected lead in 87 of Illinois’ 102 counties. That projection speaks to the tremendous support for our message of accountability, public safety, and putting the people of Illinois first. Over these many months, we traveled thousands of miles across this great state. We held debates, press conferences, town halls, and community forums. We listened to victims, families, veterans, law enforcement officers, small-business owners, and everyday citizens who simply wanted someone to hear their concerns. Their stories mattered yesterday, and they matter just as much today. To my incredible campaign team, our county chairs, volunteers, donors, and supporters, thank you for your dedication, your sacrifices, and your unwavering belief in this campaign. You worked tirelessly, traveled countless miles, made phone calls, organized events, and gave everything you had to this effort. I could not have done this without you. To my family and friends, thank you for standing beside me, for your patience, encouragement, and love. Campaigns demand a great deal from the people closest to us, and I am forever grateful for the sacrifices you made. I also want to thank the law enforcement officers, veterans, community leaders, and organizations who placed their confidence in me. Your support has been one of the greatest honors of this journey. While we did not win this election, we brought important issues to the forefront. Victims still deserve justice. Families still deserve protection. Taxpayers still deserve accountability. And the people of Illinois still deserve a government that answers to them, not the politically connected. Throughout this campaign, I often said, “It doesn’t have to be this way.” I believed those words when we started, and I believe them just as strongly today. An election determines who holds an office, but it does not determine the strength of our convictions or our commitment to public service. I may not be your next Attorney General, but I will never stop being an advocate for the people of Illinois. To everyone who stood with us, hold your heads high. Be proud of what we accomplished together. Continue to stand up for what you believe in, demand accountability, and make your voices heard. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your friendship, your trust, and the opportunity to represent your concerns throughout this campaign. God bless our veterans, our law enforcement officers and first responders, our families, and the great State of Illinois. Thank you, Illinois. It has been an honor. Bob Fioretti
