State Senator Darren Bailey has won the Gubernatorial Republican Primary, and will face incumbent J.B. Pritzker in the November General Election. During his stop at the Vermilion Regional Airport on Monday, Bailey stated that there are Democratic members of the General Assembly that have real desires to stand up to the governor.
Audio PlayerAUDIO: People are desiring leadership. I have friends on the Democrat side of the aisle in the House, and on the Senate; that almost every day that we’re in session walk out, slap me on the back, and say “man, I wish I could be you and stand up and fight like that.” And I say “but you can!” But then comes in the real problem of “well, this career, I might not get reelected.”
Senator Darren Bailey stopped to speak with voters on Monday at Vermilion Regional Airport.
Senator Bailey also said Monday that when it comes to high prices and possible future shortages of food, gasoline, and energy; the governor could be doing something. But instead, he has other priorities.
Audio PlayerAUDIO: We’re been warning Illinoisans about this, and this could be solved. We could meet in session tomorrow, or very soon, and talk about some immediate relief, but that’s not coming. You know what IS coming? Governor Pritzker just last week announced that we are indeed coming to special session to talk about how we can make Illinois a more pro-abortion state.
The General Election is set for Tuesday, November 8th.
