Darren Bailey
Darren Bailey, the 2022 GOP nominee, won the March 17, 2026 Republican primary to face Gov. Pritzker again. His documented Israel record is mixed. During the 2022 race he made a September 2022 campaign stop at the Palestinian American Club of Bridgeview, speaking in front of a map that erased Israel and labeled the whole territory 'Palestine'; in a Palestine TV interview at the event he appeared to oppose Illinois' anti-boycott law, framing it as a constitutional concern. No dated, page-level primary statement by Bailey on U.S. weapons or funding levels to Israel was located as of July 2026.
