Illinois governor race

Republican gubernatorial candidate Darren Bailey said in a social media post it was wrong for the president to mock the pope and to post an image of himself appearing to be like Jesus Christ. #trump #pope #centersquare

“New details surrounding this case raise deeply troubling questions,” Bailey said. “Gorman’s brutal murder was not unpredictable. It was preventable.” #policies #killing #loyola

The fly-around had been planned as a daylong tour aimed at energizing voters across several regions of Illinois as the campaign heads into the final stretch of the election season. #virtual #campaign #flyaround

The campaign announced Sunday that the pair will conduct a “statewide fly-around,” visiting multiple cities from southern Illinois to the Chicago suburbs throughout the day. #fly #poltics #election

“Campers should be free to gather around a campfire with friends and family without having to check with the government first,” Bailey said. #campfire #permit

“No family should be required to pay more in property taxes than their mortgage payment,” Bailey said. #blueprint #election #workingfamilies

Bailey’s second campaign for governor had been in doubt after his son Zachary, daughter-in-law Kelsey and two grandchildren, 12-year-old Vada Rose and 7-year-old Samuel, died when the helicopter Zachary was piloting crashed in Montana on Oct. 22. #governor #bailey

The lieutenant governor candidate said he and the campaign team are relying on faith and community support as they process the tragedy. #aarondelmar #darrenbailey #zachbailey
