She's a political rival of Republican candidate for governor Darren Bailey. State representative Avery Bourne called him a flip-floppper on pandemic policy.
Bourne is running for lieutenant governor with gubernatorial candidate Richard Irvin. She called out Bailey for first supporting mandatory shutdowns and mask-wearing, before becoming a vocal critic of those policies."Before Darren Bailey decided he was going to run for governor, he introduced a plan that included business closures and now he says he never would have done that," Bourne said.
In March 2020, Bailey posted on social media, "I am satisfied with what the Governor is doing as we watch what he is suggesting and compare that with what President Trump is doing." He added, "I wanted to ask everyone to please stay home from church tomorrow." "I was an advocate for that. I stood up and, as a matter of fact, I had a lot of pushback in my district. But two weeks came and went and then when businesses started closing down and the governor had absolutely no idea, no relief, no plan for these non-essential business owners, then it became a problem," Bailey said."And I began to realize that the problem was escalating out of control. And that's when I began to stand up and start pushing back.

Sarah Palin testifies she felt 'powerless' against New York TimesSarah Palin said at her defamation trial against the New York Times that she felt 'powerless' after the newspaper published a 2017 editorial that incorrectly linked the former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican U.S. vice presidential candidate to a mass shooting six years earlier.
