Illinois Politician Darren Bailey Loses 4 Family Members in Helicopter Crash
Darren Bailey, a Republican candidate for governor of Illinois, faced an "unimaginable tragedy" when his son, daughter-in-law, and two grandchildren lost their lives in a helicopter accident in Montana. The devastating news was shared by Bailey's campaign in an early morning post on X, sharing that his son Zachary, daughter-in-law Kelsey, and grandchildren Vada Rose and Samuel were involved in the accident. Fortunately, Bailey's other grandson Finn, age 10, was not on board and is safe. Bailey's campaign expressed their deep sorrow for the loss, noting that Bailey and his wife Cindy are finding solace in their faith, family, and the support of those close to them. They asked for privacy as they mourn their loved ones. Further details about the crash were not immediately available, but the Montana Highway Patrol confirmed the accident occurred in Carter County. Bailey, 59, ran for governor of Illinois in 2022 against Democrat JB Pritzker and is now seeking the Republican nomination for the 2026 election.
