CHICAGO, IL – In a radio interview, Darren Bailey claimed he’s ready to work across party lines to “get real work done for Illinois.” It would be his first time doing so. His record during his time in the Illinois House and Senate reveals a legislator who regularly put partisan loyalty ahead of progress for working families – voting against bills that funded our schools, raised the minimum wage, protected families, and lowered costs.
Here’s the record:
- Bailey voted against every balanced budget that came across his desk.
- Bailey voted against raising the minimum wage, which gave 1.4 million Illinoisans a raise.
- Bailey voted against capping the cost of insulin.
- Bailey repeatedly voted against funding for police and firefighters and for fighting crime.
- Bailey voted against funding for state police and violence prevention.
While Governor JB Pritzker is committed to making lives easier, putting money back in people’s pockets, and keeping families safe, Darren Bailey is committed to demonstrating his loyalty to the MAGA agenda, even at the expense of Illinois families.
