Since the March primary, Darren Bailey has stayed in a downtown Chicago apartment he says 'a doctor' donated. Democrats say it isn't on any campaign report. Asked who owns it and what the rent is, he said, 'I don't care to disclose that.'
Scott Perry cosponsored a national abortion ban five times, then told voters he doesn't support one. Rob Bresnahan swore off a federal abortion ban and voted for a federal abortion bill three months later. Darren Bailey, Stacy Garrity, Kelly Ayotte and Joe Lombardo all ran on ending or restricting abortion — and discovered moderation the year they needed votes.
A Rockford man convicted of sexually abusing a student at the high school where he taught has given Darren Bailey's campaigns money three times since 2022. Bailey visited his church in June. His campaign says it didn't know — after a reporter called.
A 2017 video resurfaced in 2022 showing Bailey minimizing the Holocaust. The ADL and leaders of both parties denounced it. A week later Bailey claimed Jewish community support — and Lubavitch Chabad of Illinois disputed his account.
Seven people were killed at an Independence Day parade and the shooter was still at large. Bailey went live to 111,000 Facebook followers and told Illinois to move on. When the state banned assault weapons, he went to court to strike the ban down.
In July, Bailey's running mate told WBEZ, 'We're not talking about abortion.' This week, at a rally hosted by an anti-abortion lobbying group, he said Pritzker is 'willing to murder millions of babies.'
