While 46.4 percent of voters remain undecided, Bailey’s advantage is notable this early in the race. The Republican primary is March 17.
Bailey’s lead comes as he has aggressively rolled out policy proposals centered on crime, affordability, and accountability – issues that continue to plague Illinois families under one-party Democratic control.
He has made clear that public safety will be a priority in a Bailey administration, pledging to ensure violent and repeat offenders do not remain on the streets endangering communities. Bailey has repeatedly criticized Democratic leadership for siding with criminals over victims, pointing to Chicago’s persistent violence as proof of failure.
On Thursday, Bailey expanded on that message during a press conference outlining his “Blueprint for Illinois.” The plan would cap annual property tax increases so families are not paying more in property taxes than their mortgage, freeze energy rate hikes, and require public audits of major utility contracts to restore transparency and trust.
