Republican Gubernatorial Darren Bailey says if he was governor he would expect the Illinois Department of Public Health to make recommendations surrounding the pandemic.
But Bailey says unlike Governor Pritzker, he wouldn’t threaten businesses to do something about.
He says he would never force schools, businesses, and churches to shut down but he would be on the front lines telling people what is available.
Bailey sued Pritzker over the mask mandate when it was put in place.
He also says that he is okay with local government bodies making their own rules on masks and vaccinations.
Bailey did not tell if he himself was vaccinated.
During the campaign stop north of Ottawa yesterday, Bailey says that Illinois is broken and he wants to fix it.
On the issue of the Second Amendment Bailey says purpose of the right to bear arms is to protect ourselves.
He also says we should let the police just do their jobs.
Bailey says guns are not the problem, but can be part of the solution.
Bailey says it’s an important, God given right.
