The advertisement, funded by the conservative"People Who Play by the Rules" PAC, is critical of Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot's handling of crime. The ad consists of doorbell video showing an attack on a woman in Lakeview. The only audio contained within the advertisement is the victim's screams.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Darren Bailey, whom has been the subject of favorable ads from the PAC, says he is not in contact with the group, but also says he does not dispute their message.
