Illinois GOP’s Bold Gambit Against Pritzker | St. Louis News

Illinois Republicans are on a comeback mission, banking on Darren Bailey’s rematch against Governor JB Pritzker—despite losing by 12 points last time. Bailey’s campaign is laser-focused on blaming Pritzker for soaring property taxes, utility bills, and fees crushing families. Meanwhile, Pritzker’s team turns up the spectacle with dinosaur-costumed staffers at the state fair—a cheeky nod to Bailey’s past curriculum comments. Republicans also weaponize recent Democratic ethics scandals, branding it a “summer of corruption” to rally voters. Though outspent and without statewide offices, GOP candidates vow transparency and accountability, pledging to fight for everyday Illinoisans—not special interests.
