As anticipated, Clay County (Illinois) farmer Darren Bailey threw his hat back into the ring for a second time to try and win the Illinois governor's office. He announced his candidacy during stops across the state Thursday.
Bailey will be joined by Cook County Republican Chairman and businessman Aaron Del Mar on the ticket to unseat incumbent two-term Illinois governor J.B. Pritzker, who beat him in the 2022 election. He joins a crowded Republican field vying for the nomination.
Bailey and Del Mar outlined their campaign priorities to supporters. They include lowering property taxes and utility costs, repealing of the controversial SAFE-T Act, growing the state economy and tackling corruption in Springfield. Both men reiterated that families across Illinois are being crushed under the policies of Governor Pritzker with life becoming less affordable, less safe and less hopeful.
