Hundreds of Bailey supporters who gathered were a group of Illinoisans not often in a position to claim victory in statewide races, even in Republican primaries.
EFFINGHAM — Inside the civic center in downstate Effingham, a town more than 200 miles from Chicago best-known for being home to one of the largest crosses in the United States, a crowd gathered at state Sen. Darren Bailey’s election night party and embraced the victory of one of the most conservative Republican nominees for Illinois governor in generations.
Bailey supporters said they disagreed with Pritzker on nearly every issue and were tired of the status quo, which many say stems from longtime leadership of Chicago Democrats. Some said they were optimistic Bailey could prevail in the Nov. 8 general election despite the challenges of a contender with such a deeply conservative platform for governor of a blue state.
