- Irvin has voted in 8 of the last 9 Democratic primaries.
- Irvin, as mayor, imposed COVID-19 vaccine mandates on City of Aurora employees.

In advance of the permanently temporary personal and corporate income tax increases he imposed on Illinois in 2011, Quinn argued that without the tax increases, social service providers would suffer.
In fact, he would see to it that they did.
