Republican candidates for governor are focusing on crime in Illinois. Sen. Darren Bailey filed legislation Wednesday that would enhance penalties for convicted cop killers. Bailey and other GOP candidates have been critical of the sweeping laws impacting various aspects of criminal justice brought forth by the Democratic Legislative Black Caucus in 2021. In separate TV ads, Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin and Jess Sullivan said they would bring about more support for law enforcement if they were elected governor.
