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.

Chicago cannot thrive if only the wealthy can afford to live here. Our city's future depends on being a place where businesses and families can afford to put down roots—$3,500/month is unacceptable.

Young women should not be forced to fear for their lives on their way to work. Yet, under JB Pritzker’s SAFE-T Act, violent criminals just like the men who brutally attacked, spit on, and assaulted Tanahri Favela would be allowed right back onto the Blue Line to harm another innocent woman.

Call me old-fashioned, but when Team USA is playing, I’m rooting for Team USA.

"World Cup — who are you rooting for to win it all?"
Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D): "Mexico"
Darializa Chevalier (D): "Senegal"

Property taxes are higher. Utility bills are higher. Now, home insurance costs are up 14%.
Families are working harder than ever just to stay in Illinois. What has JB Pritzker done to address affordability?

I'd love to hear who JB Pritzker faults for the Obama Center pricing Illinoisans out of their homes.

It’s not right that a struggling mom on the South Side gets pushed to the back of the line while billions are spent caring for people who shouldn’t be here in the first place.

Audit everything.
Every agency. Every program. Every contract. Every dollar.
If it’s funded by taxpayers, it should be transparent to taxpayers.

The same politicians who never found a spending bill they didn't like want you to believe property tax relief is impossible.
I don't buy it.
If families have to live within a budget, government should too.

Every government lobbyist and tax-and-spend politician will tell you a 1% property tax cap on the price you paid for your home is impossible.
Of course they will.
The current system works great for them.
It's homeowners getting crushed.

Meet Sharone Mitchell—a PRITZKER-FUNDED Public Defender.
He said violent offenders on ankle monitors needed more freedom because taking the trash out was too hard.
He also says people accused of carrying machine guns shouldn’t be held before trial.
Lunatic.

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.
