Bill Brady's Secret Weapon?

:)

More. Brady kicks off campaign for governor. ABC7 video. Clout St. An emphasis on jobs, and reaching across party lines:

Brady, however, said he’s never been able to win office dependent upon Republican votes alone—even in his conservative GOP base of McLean County.

“This election is our time. It is our time to reach out, to reach beyond traditional Republican boundaries and borders, to reach out to independents and Democrats, to reach out to minorities—-blacks and Latinos—-and share the vision we have for the future of Illinois,” he said.

“Minorities are not, in this state, dependent on government jobs They’re looking for private-sector jobs,” said Brady, a real estate developer with other business interests. “They understand it’s private-sector principles that will bring big-box construction jobs, permanent jobs and affordable quality food to their communities.”

As we know in Illinois--what good are all these government promises when the state is so bankrupt it stiffs its vendors and providers, raises taxes on families and chases businesses out of the state, and builds debt our children can't afford to pay off.
