FIRST ON FOX \u2014 <\/strong>Former Republican gubernatorial candidate Darren Bailey is launching his bid for Congress in Illinois\u2019 12th District against five-term Republican incumbent Mike Bost,<\/a> R-Ill.<\/p>\n

“It’s time for a change,” Bailey told Fox News Digital. “We need more people to stand up and stop the compromise that’s destroying our values.”<\/p>\n

Bailey says he can beat Bost through a “grassroots movement” he built during his 2022 gubernatorial bid, which he lost to Democrat JB Pritzker<\/a>. The southern Illinois farmer also calls Bost “a career politician” who caves to “the left-wing agenda.”<\/p>\n

“This is not a career,” said Bailey. “I’ve been out there working and fighting against the adversity and the failures of career politicians, and I’m tired of it.”<\/p>\n

Bailey and Bost have both been endorsed by former President Donald Trump<\/a> in their previous political campaigns. However, Bailey says he will be working hard to get Trump\u2019s endorsement in the primary.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bailey also said Trump asked him if Mike Bost was “a good guy” a year ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I said, here’s the deal. He was a congressman<\/a> the entire time that you were president. And the fact that you don’t know if he’s the good guy or not, that should say a lot,” said Bailey.<\/p>\n

However, the former president did say Bost was a “proud ally” and “terrific representative” in his 2022 endorsement. Bost won the seat by 50 points.<\/p>\n

“[Bost] knows there’s a threat, and he’s certainly become more conservative in the last year than he has ever been,” said Bailey.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trump won Illinois\u2019 12th District<\/a> in 2020 with 56% of the vote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The southern Illinois farmer also says he is no stranger to being outspent by his opponents after facing off against JB Pritzker\u2019s $152 million re-election bid.<\/p>\n

“I do not anticipate that I’m going to match, by any means, dollar for dollar, but no one outworked me,” said Bailey. “I spent all my life being a farmer, getting up early, putting the work in. And I will do that.”<\/p>\n

The primary election for Illinois’s 12th Congressional District is March 19, 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
