SPOTLIGHT: Madigan Has No Opposition Party in Springfield


Written by Benjamin Smith

David Smith welcomes State Representative Darren Bailey (R-Louivlle) to this edition of the IFA Spotlight podcast as they continue their conversation on political corruption in Illinois. In case you missed the memo: Illinois is Michael Madigan’s playground and he just lets us PAY in it. Standing in stark contrast to Speaker Madigan and his minions, Rep. Bailey is a first-term, stalwart Christian statesman who represents the 109th district who just announced that he plans to run for the 55th State Senate District in 2020 to replace the retiring Republican incumbent.

Bailey and Smith discuss the targets the liberal majority in Springfield might have in their sights for upcoming legislative sessions and the critical need for conservative, principled men and women to run for public office, starting at the local level. The podcast concludes with information regarding efforts to separate Chicago from the rest of Illinois and details of upcoming events featuring pro-life warrior Abby Johnson you will not want to miss.
