Quinn for Illinois

The Republican nominee is from the extreme right wing of the party and far from the mainstream of Illinois voters.  In his legislative career, Senator Bill Brady has voted against the Family Medical Leave Act, equal pay for men and women, and raising the minimum wage.  He has also proposed repealing anti-discrimination laws, would ban all abortions -- even for victims of rape and incest -- and even voted against a bill funding mammograms and pap tests.  These and other extreme positions reflect Mr. Brady's misguided priorities, especially at a time when we need to rebuild our economy and prepare our workers for the jobs of the future.  He may represent the extreme fringe of the right-wing, but he certainly does not represent the people of Illinois.
