The ad buy for the 30-second spot totals $534,000, Bailey campaign spokesman Joe DeBose said, and will include being broadcast in the Chicago area. The ad is slated to debut Wednesday or Thursday.
State Sen. Darren Bailey, right, the Republican nominee for governor, debates with Gov. J.B. Pritzker at Illinois State University in Normal, Oct.6, 2022.

Bailey used the release of the commercial as a fundraising pitch to supporters, asking via text: “Will you consider chipping in $50 or $15 to put this ad on TV? Right now, J.B. is dominating the airwaves and we need to get our message out.”
