Bailey, Bost Both in the Weekend News

Both candidates for the Republican nomination for the 12th Congressional District made news over the weekend.

The challenger in the race, former state senator and gubernatorial nominee Darren Bailey, was endorsed by Congressman Mary Miller.

Miller said, "Chris and I have been close friends of Darren and Cindy Bailey for many years, and I have seen firsthand how Darren is guided by his faith to serve God and help others," said Miller. "Darren is MAGA to his core, and I was so honored when President Trump came to Illinois last year for a rally to endorse me and Darren as pro-Trump, America First candidates in 2022.

"In Springfield, Darren fought to defend the unborn and our Second Amendment rights from the radical Pritzker agenda. He took on JB Pritzker because he saw the lasting damage Pritzker's COVID mandates would do to our children and our small businesses.

"Darren is also a farmer who understands how Biden's crushing inflation and war on American energy are driving up our input costs and killing the family farm. Chris and I are proud to support and endorse Darren because we know he will be a conservative champion for the America First movement in downstate Illinois."

Current 12th District Congressman Mike Bost, who serves as House Veterans Affairs Committee Chairman, joined Fox and Friends on Sunday morning to discuss reports that the Department of Veterans Affairs is facilitating healthcare for illegal migrants.
