Darren Bailey officially announces his candidacy for Illinois Governor at The Drake in Oak Brook, delivering a powerful message that sent shockwaves through the Illinois political establishment. In what one speaker called the "Mega Powers" moment of Illinois politics, Bailey and former rival Aaron Del Mar united on stage, comparing their alliance to when wrestling legends Hulk Hogan and Randy "Macho Man" Savage put aside their differences to form the greatest tag team in history.
The announcement came with immediate proof of grassroots momentum. Within just six hours of launching BaileyForIllinois.com, over 2,000 volunteers signed up to join the movement. This explosive response demonstrates the hunger Illinois citizens have for change after years of failed leadership under J.B. Pritzker's billionaire governance.
Bailey didn't hold back in his criticism of the current administration, revealing a shocking incident where a man who stood next to Pritzker at a peacekeeping event was arrested days later for a violent smash-and-grab at Louis Vuitton that resulted in a deadly crash, killing a young father on his way to work. Bailey declared that while Pritzker stands shoulder-to-shoulder with criminals, he will stand with law enforcement and victims when he becomes governor.
The event featured powerful testimonials from unexpected allies. Beni Harmony, the Springfield news anchor who was suspended and forced to resign for speaking about her mentor Charlie Kirk after his assassination, delivered a biblical message comparing Bailey to Esther, called by God to save her people. Her presence underscored the high stakes of this race and the courage required to stand against the establishment.
Bailey's campaign focuses on three pillars: affordability, public safety, and education. He shared devastating examples of how Pritzker's policies are crushing Illinois families, including a Marion restaurant owner whose electric bill skyrocketed from $2,100 to $4,500 in just three months due to the governor's extreme green agenda. Bailey promised an all-of-the-above energy strategy including coal, oil, and gas to bring relief to struggling businesses and families.
Aaron Del Mar's addition to the ticket brings strategic advantages as Cook County Republican Chairman and Illinois GOP Co-Chair. His powerful speech acknowledged their past differences but emphasized that defeating Pritzker requires unity over ego. Del Mar revealed plans to flood polling places with Republican election judges and implement a two-part strategy: activating unreliable voters in Chicago (where Trump won two wards in 2024) while boosting turnout in southern Illinois from 54% to 80-85%.
The event, sponsored by Save Illinois PAC, showcased the broad coalition forming behind Bailey. Brett Corrigan noted the organization's track record of bringing Trump family members to Illinois, promising to make the state a battleground rather than a flyover. Entrepreneur John Sassani praised both Baileys for their selflessness in putting aside past conflicts for Illinois' future.
On public safety, both Bailey and Del Mar condemned Brandon Johnson's statement that "law enforcement is a sickness," pointing to Chicago's crisis with 54 people shot over Labor Day weekend alone. Bailey promised to create a task force of former ICE, DEA, and experienced prosecutors to remove drugs, gangs, and violent criminals from streets on day one.
Bailey directly challenged Pritzker's political ambitions, accusing him of using Illinois as a testing ground for far-left policies to audition for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination while families suffer. The contrast was stark: a billionaire flying on private jets chasing White House dreams versus a farmer-businessman who understands the struggles of working families who shower before and after work.
The campaign's message resonated beyond party lines. Bailey extended his hand to Democrats and independents tired of being ignored, overtaxed, and disrespected by Springfield. This isn't just Republicans versus Democrats—it's the people of Illinois versus political insiders who have failed them.
Bailey's closing promise was clear: "Money can't buy heart. Money can't buy grit. Money cannot buy the determination of a people who love their state and refuse to lose it. We will outwork him. We will outfight him. And we will outlast him."
This announcement marks the beginning of a movement to save Illinois from another four years of failed leadership. The Bailey-Del Mar ticket represents unity, determination, and hope for every Illinois family.
