Bailey's Running Mate for Lt. Gov. Announced

Republican candidate for Illinois governor Darren Bailey this week announced his running mate in the 2022 election campaign.

She is Stephanie Trussell, a talk show host who is a native of the west side of Chicago.

In her remarks during Monday's announcement, Trussell said, "I love our country and I love Illinois, it's the heartland of America, but its political leaders and political class have failed us; that's why I'm so excited to join Darren Bailey's campaign to restore Illinois."

Trussell said, "We need leadership who will fight to defend our police, not defund them. We need to get the woke left political agenda out of classrooms once and for all. It's time for our kids to chase their dreams, not to be a victim or hate one another."

State Senator Bailey is one of four Republicans running for governor.
