First daughter Teddi "Theodora" Pritzker has continued to flout mask policy during the pandemic and has freely posted photos of her adventures enjoying the beaches in Florida while Illinoisans continue to be locked down.

Teddi is Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s 21-year-old first daughter. A source provided Prairie State Wire images from Teddi’s InstaGram page.

On Aug. 29, 2020 Teddi posted “’twas the summer of rona” picturing her in a bikini top with a tattoo partially exposed on her chest.

Meanwhile in the Metro East, Gov. Pritzker was using what later came to be found as unreliable data to lock down the region.

Republican State Sen. Paul Schimpf, who is notably running for the governor spot, pushed back against Gov. Pritzker’s ban.

Going back to March 2020 Teddi posted photos of herself on the beach in Florida.

On March 31, 2020 Pritzker posted “walking on a dream. Missing home in the 242.”

242 is the area code for the Bahamas.  

The Pritzkers also have a home on Lyford Cay in the Bahamas.

Homes reportedly sell for between $2 million and $70 million in the British Colonial style master-planned, gated community.

Teddi and her mother Mary Pritzker have not been living in Illinois for some time now. Chicago City Wire reported in May the family was at their Florida estate in Wellington.

In contrast to Illinois, Fla. Gov. Ron DeSantis has been vocal in his support of keeping businesses open and not mandating masks.

Gov. Pritzker blamed Chicago City Wire for his family’s stay in Florida.

Gov. Pritzker’s Wellington estate was purchased for $12 million and is close to equestrian activities Teddi has also continued to participate in since the pandemic.

Jumping horses can cost as much as $100,000.

On Oct. 28 Teddi posted photos of her and her jumping horse on InstaGram.

“Miss u Bahama mama,” she said in response to comment.

Meanwhile in Illinois, Gov. Pritzker shut down the state’s high school football season. The state's top student-athletes sought positions on teams elsewhere and parents across the state protested, including one notable high school football coach who called Gov. Pritzker a “human virus” for shutting kids of out of organized sports.  

All states bordering Illinois played fall football and Teddi participated in equestrian events, including one in Illinois even though the sport was supposedly restricted under her father's orders.  

In January, Gov. Pritzker extended the state’s mask policy for another 150 days. That is nearly half of 2021.  

At the same time Teddi was spotted working out in a Florida gym in a crowded room without a mask.

Prtizker’s continued lockdown of Illinois has resulted in the shuttering of 61 percent of retail businesses.

In particular, Chicago gyms have called the negative effects of Gov. Pritzker’s ban a “bloodbath” for their businesses.

On Jan. 26 Teddi Pritzker posted a photo of herself tanning in the family’s backyard in Florida.

“Ahh you have that gorgeous supermodel shine,” the commenter said.
