Bill Brady is the Republican Nominee for Illinois Governor
State Sen. Kirk Dillard conceded today and endorsed Bill Brady, the Republican party’s Gubernatorial nominee.
I, for one, thought it strange that Dillard went down without a fight. The official count showed he only trailed Brady by 193 votes. Dillard received 155,334 votes. Brady received a total of 155,527 votes. These extremely anemic numbers indicate that Brady’s base is very small.
Brady is prone to “shoot from the hip” and make unsubstantiated claims.
In his first Press Conference, as the confirmed Republican nominee for Governor Brady erroneously insisted the Quinn administration had secretly released accused murderer Jonathan Phillips from prison last November. By all official indications, Phillips served his time minus the properly allotted time off for good behavior.

Brady is an exceptionally conservative candidate, whose policies are too extreme for the people of Illinois. He has no viable plan to alleviate the states budget crisis.
Brady does not appreciate the true value of education. According to statements, like the one contained in the video below, he will not make education a priority. In fact, Brady is willing to cut education spending right along with all other government services.
