SPRINGFIELD, Illinois — Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker got the general election matchup he wanted.  State Senator Darren Bailey won his primary election with a $36.9 million dollar assist from Pritzker and national Democratic campaigns. They spent that money boosting Bailey as "too conservative" while beating up Aurora mayor Richard Irvin. "All I was saying was, 'Look, the guy who's talking about corruption is actually somebody who has been involved in corruption himself. That's Richard Irvin,'" Pritzker said.
