DGA Statement on Darren Bailey Running for Governor in Illinois
DGA spokesperson Izzi Levy released the following statement in response to Darren Bailey launching another run for governor in Illinois:
"Darren Bailey has returned for another attempt to drag Illinois backwards and bring Donald Trump's chaotic, destructive, and deeply unpopular agenda to the state. Bailey's toxic record includes opposing sensible measures to reduce gun violence, aligning himself with the far-right, and supporting extreme plans to ban abortion.
"On the other hand, Governor Pritzker has delivered for Illinois families. Under his bold leadership, Illinois has secured major economic development projects, created good-paying jobs, expanded access to affordable health care, made historic investments in education, and eliminated the state tax on groceries.
"Bailey's nothing more than Donald Trump's puppet and has already proven why he's too extreme to be governor."
