Illinois state Sen. Darren Bailey, a Republican candidate for governor, who has repeatedly criticized government coronavirus relief efforts, has received hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal paycheck loans during the pandemic.
Last July, Republican candidate for governor Darren Bailey took to Facebook to denounce both the extension of federally-enhanced state jobless benefits and Democratic President Joe Biden’s visit to Crystal Lake to promote his coronavirus relief agenda., while discussing Biden’s visit. “That’s exactly what we heard: Free stuff. Handouts. Don’t worry about it, the government’s going to take care of you.”But only months before, on Feb.
Additionally, Bailey Family Farms got $282,424 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Coronavirus Food Assistance Program in 2020 to compensate farmers for COVID-19 related losses.Bailey’s campaign said Bailey and his farm, “like millions of hardworking people in Illinois,” were “tremendously impacted by the forced government shutdowns and resulting economic downturn.”
Bailey’s rhetoric about socialism in his July Facebook post was consistent with comments he has made in railing against big government control — particularly over efforts to deal with the pandemic. He has repeatedly accused Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker of being a “tyrant” over business closures and masking and vaccine rules and mandates.

Under the SBA’s rules to obtain a PPP loan, borrowers “must certify in good faith that their PPP loan request is necessary” and “review carefully the required certification that ‘current economic uncertainty makes this loan request necessary to support the ongoing operations of the applicant.’ ”
