Republican nominee for attorney general Tom DeVore and Republican nominee for governor Sen. Darren Bailey (R-Xenia) first teamed up on lawsuits opposing COVID-19 mitigations at the beginning of the pandemic when much was still unknown about the virus.

Over two years later, the candidates again teamed up on the final day of their campaigns to announce their opposition to any proposed COVID-19 vaccination requirement in Illinois schools.
