Downstate farmer with a thick accent and a simple message. Running for Governor to make Illinois the kind of place people move to, not from.

Imagine being the governor who lost the Chicago Bears.

I will opt Illinois into the federal school choice scholarship program. Education is the fastest path out of poverty and the foundation of generational wealth. And this program does NOT take a dime away from public schools.

There won’t be a single penny of taxpayer money for data centers when I’m governor. Take it to the bank.

Brandon Johnson coddles rioters, and JB Pritzker’s SAFE-T Act guarantees there are no consequences. You want the “teen” takeovers to stop? Enforce the law. Arrest criminals. Keep them locked up.

JB Pritzker was prepared to lock in a 40-year tax freeze for politically connected mega-developers on the backs of Illinois homeowners getting crushed by property taxes. The billionaire governor serves the billionaire class.

At least 200,000 dead people are receiving food stamps across the country. I wonder how much fraud a Bailey admin could find?

Where is JB Pritzker? He’s not in Illinois. He’s out of state making a presidential stump speech as the house burns down and Indiana celebrates swiping the Bears. We deserve better.

Working families shouldn’t have to carry the burden of child care and 40-hour workweeks only to be undermined by fraud in the system. Audit everything.

JB flew to DC to make a video about Donald Trump while Illinois is Bear-less and drowning in taxes.
Donald Trump put his face on the Department of Justice for a reason. The DOJ is supposed to defend the rule of law. Under Trump, it’s being turned into a shield for MAGA allies and a weapon against anyone who challenges him.

Cindy and I are praying for everyone who has been affected by yesterday’s horrible tornadoes and storms. Losing physical memories and loved ones is so difficult, but friends, you are not alone. Thank you to the brave first responders and utility crews working around the clock to keep us safe.

The biggest critics of a 1% property tax cap on price you paid for your home aren't worried about families. They're worried government might have to prioritize its spending. Good. That's exactly the point.

If JB Pritzker hadn’t spent billions on nonsense like corporate welfare and benefits for illegal immigrants, Illinois could’ve kept the Bears AND delivered tax relief to working families. This is all his fault.

Darren Bailey retweeted
Chicago Bears legend Brian Urlacher spoke out against Illinois Democrats for giving billions of dollars to illegal immigrants, while the Bears now plan to move to Indiana because Illinois failed to pass a tax relief and stadium incentive bill. "They just don't care."

As governor, I’m not flying first class. I’m not taking lavish taxpayer-funded trips. I’m not getting rich off state contracts. Give me a folding chair, a picnic table, and a pen and I’ll get the job done.

This guy gets it. Fire Pritzker! This is the ultimate indictment of JB’s policies: a state made so expensive and so mismanaged it can’t even keep its most iconic institution.

Red light cameras aren’t about safety. They’re about revenue. Put a ban on my desk and I’ll put pen to paper.

Bookmark it. We need to walk the budget back to pre-2019 levels and I will fight like our future depends on it because it does.
Replying to @DarrenBaileyIL
Make it clear that you will unapologetically make cuts to 2019 or pre levels for the budget. We survived and we will again.
