A mess of uncertainty and litigation is sure to follow.
With $162 billion more from taxpayers, couldn’t you deliver a few bond upgrades, too
I will cast my vote for Dabrowski in the general for Gov(I’m sure Ted will win the primary and nomination). However, I fully expect my vote to be canceled out by the vote of an illegal alien in Chicago.
David v. Goliath in several respects. Big stones may fell the cyclops.
Bailey should accept as much money from fat boy as he can- then turn it over to Ted’s campaign!
Bailey received un-solicited in-kind donations from the Pritzker campaign, not cash, so it’s non-transferable.

What a switch to see support growing for a candidate who actually has integrity. This the best thing I have seen for Illinois in a long, long time. Go Ted!
Encouraging! Yet I read Pritzker spent $171 million of his own money in 2018 and $110 million in 2022. Best that state republicans coalesce around Ted very soon. Going by that footnote to the article, perhaps Bailey needs his $350k back, is that his main reason for running again?
You play to win the game. Ted is by far the strongest candidate and all the others should start backing him NOW
I will drink Champagne if he wins or cry in my beer if he loses.
Nice job, Ted.
I wonder how much Bailey will receive from Pritzker.
As much as JB wants to give him. If the ILGOP voter is that stupid then you will get the government that you deserve.
The public sector are the voters who decide the election. They have gamed the system, and you know it. Most likely you are one of them. It has destroyed Illinois for so many families. The smart families leave the state and live happily ever after.
In my mind this is starting to look good for the republican party in Illinois as it pertains to the governor’s race. I hope this keeps up.
