I don't want to live in a surveillance state, and neither should you. #DeFlockIllinois

Statement from the Darren Bailey / Aaron Del Mar Campaign On Wednesday evening, Darren and his wife, Cindy, received the heartbreaking news no parent ever wants to hear. Their son, Zachary, his wife, Kelsey, and their two young children, Vada Rose, age 12, and Samuel, age 7,

As Governor, my administration will oppose mandating COVID vaccines for grade school, college and employment. We all know the mandate candidate, J.B. Pritzker, will force it on your kids because he thinks the government knows better than parents. #twill

JB Pritzker doesn’t care about your family, your bills, or your future—he only cares about one thing: becoming president. If he can’t lead Illinois, he has no business leading America. We must stand together and make sure he never gets close to the White House. Are you in?

JB Pritzker is the spoiled billionaire who’s always had everything handed to him. When Illinois needed leadership today after the violent attack on Charlie Kirk, what did JB do? Instead of condemning the violence, he pointed fingers at Donald Trump and January 6. That’s not

I'll be here putting together this puzzle waiting for Pritzker to knock on my door and take my guns. I will not comply.

7 years of JB Pritzker—and Illinois is worse off. Families crushed by high electric bills. Students fleeing for opportunity. Hard-working people buried under his tax hikes. Illinois deserves better. Are you feeling it?

The last two weeks have been some of the hardest days of Cindy’s and my life. We’re hurting, but we’re leaning on our faith, our family, and the prayers and support so many of you have shared. It truly means more than we can say. Many have asked if we plan to stay in the race

Cindy and I are deeply grateful for the outpouring of love, prayers, and support our family has received. The Bailey family—Zachary Adam, age 37, Kelsey Danielle, age 35, and a cherished daughter and son, Vada Rose, age 12, and Samuel Isaac, age 7—of Xenia, Illinois, passed away

Illinois cannot survive another four years under this failed Governor. Our families cannot afford it. Our freedoms cannot endure it. That’s why, I am running for Governor of Illinois — and together we will win. For too long, Springfield politicians have put themselves first and

Illinois families deserve better. They’re buried under taxes, watching their kids leave, and struggling just to keep the lights on. That’s why I’m considering leaving my farm to run for governor — because I still believe there’s hope for Illinois.

While Illinois families are working overtime just to keep up, J.B. Pritzker was cashing in over $1.4 million in Las Vegas — according to his own 2024 tax returns. This isn’t a $25 card game. You don’t make that kind of money unless you’re sitting at a high-roller table. And it
