Two candidates represent the opposites of the political ideological divide.
Gov. J.B. Pritzker, left, and Illinois state Sen. Darren Bailey will face off in the Illinois governor's race this November.
Fresh off a Democratic primary election win, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker sits down for an interview at the Marriott Marquis hotel in Chicago on June 29, 2022. “So no, this is about the candidate that the Republicans have decided should be their standard-bearer,” Pritzker added. Bailey is opposed to abortion in all cases except to spare the life of the mother, while Pritzker has been a national advocate of abortion rights and helped enshrine that right into state law. Pritzker’s also supported other laws
Bailey said he won’t back off his conservatism for the general election, even to appeal to Chicago voters, saying “people are receptive. They’re ready for something different. We will stay consistent with our message and our work ethic and will not slow down. I have no doubt we will prevail.
In his nomination acceptance speech, Bailey largely shied away from controversial social issues, even going so far as to say that “when we win, Springfield will stop trying to control people’s lives and start working to make them better.”
