Darren Bailey called Chicago a “hellhole” and wanted to kick it out of Illinois. Now he’s living rent-free in a luxury Chicago apartment, and Illinois voters still don’t know who’s footing the bill. Today, DPI filed a complaint with the Illinois State Board of Elections seeking answers.

Any time a rural hospital closes or reduces services, it forces patients to drive hours to get the care they need. I'm traveling across Illinois to show the cost of reckless MAGA cuts to healthcare because @illinoisdems.bsky.social won't stand idly by while people suffer.

No one should go hungry because the GOP decided SNAP wasn't worth funding. Here in Illinois, we’re protecting families from the fallout. We passed legislation that provides nearly $100 million to help families afford groceries and $400 in emergency relief for those kicked off food assistance.

The "Cost of MAGA" is expensive. When Republicans cut SNAP, they took food out of the mouths of hungry children and families who were already struggling to make ends meet. @illinoisdems.bsky.social and I are putting working families over tax cuts for the wealthy.

As the ILGOP brag about wins in their districts, here's the truth: State Reps. Chris Miller, Steven Reick, Adam Niemerg, and State Senators Chapin Rose and Seth Lewis refused to vote for legislation that helped new businesses and created jobs. Then took credit for it. Sounds like a pattern 🔍

Darren Bailey is too extreme for Illinois, and if it wasn’t clear before it is now. Donald Trump just endorsed him again. And last week Bailey was sitting in the “President’s Box” at Trump-a-palooza. Illinoisans deserve better than a puppet for Trump and the MAGA agenda.
