Illinois Outranks Indiana in Education, Infrastructure, Quality of Life, and More
CHICAGO, IL — During tonight’s debate, Darren Bailey trashed Illinois and extolled the governance of the state of Indiana. He implied that Illinois ought to be more like the Hoosier State, seemingly unaware that:
- Illinois ranked higher than Indiana for Pre-K-12 education.

- Illinois beat Indiana in CNBC infrastructure rankings.
- Illinois ranked 3rd in the nation for workforce development, while Indiana ranked 14th.
- CNBC ranked Illinois higher for technology and innovation than Indiana.
- Illinois was ranked with a higher quality of life than Indiana.

In response, JB for Governor campaign spokesperson Leah Hurwitz released the following statement:
“If Darren Bailey loves Indiana so much, he should move there — and maybe do something to get their education, infrastructure, and quality of life up to Illinois’ level.”
