Quinn for Illinois

Over the past few weeks, Bill Brady’s Senate voting record has come under fire.

And for good reason. According to the Daily Herald (5/20), Senator Brady wasn’t present for more than 200 votes over just a two-week span while campaigning for governor.

And today, an updated Daily Herald story revealed he missed votes on 25 days of the Senate’s 43 days of session.

That gives Brady a 42% full attendance record, a failing grade.

Among hundreds of others, Senator Brady missed votes on treatment for breast and cervical cancer, protections for abused and neglected children, and creating penalties for governmental ethics violations.

And what is Bill Brady’s solution to neglecting his constituents and his duties as a senator? He’s now offered not to collect his per diem.

It’s not just about your expense account, Senator Brady; it’s about doing your job.

If Bill Brady can’t be trusted to show up for only 43 days of votes, how can we trust him to do the 365-day-a-year job of governor?”
