Prior to entering politics, Bailey was a probation officer. In 2002, Bailey was elected to the Illinois House of Representatives as a Democrat. Bailey received an unsuccessful primary challenge in 2004 from former death row inmate Aaron Patterson.[3] According to the Chicago Tribune, Bailey's 2004 campaign was "heavily financed by Chicago-area law-enforcement groups".[4]
Residency controversyedit
In 2005, Bailey was found to be living somewhere other than in the 6th District she claimed. She was found guilty of voter fraud and perjury and was forced to resign from the Illinois General Assembly.[5][6][7] Bailey was succeeded in her position by fellow Democrat Esther Golar.[8]
In 2013, she received two years probation for listing a fake address on candidate and voter registration documents.[9]
