Brady Launches “All Fired Up” Tour of Southern Illinois

State Senator Bill Brady, Republican candidate for Governor, will visit 19 counties over two days on an “All Fired Up in Southern Illinois” tour to launch the final month of campaigning throughout Illinois before the February 2 Republican primary election.

 ”From Carmi to Cairo, from Metropolis and Mound City to Marion, we’re taking our campaign directly to the people of Southern Illinois,” said Brady, the only Downstate candidate for Governor in the primary. 

 ”The tour will give us another opportunity to communicate directly with Southern Illinois Republican voters about our campaign to provide a clean break from the politics and anti-business policies of the past and to bring new leadership and a statewide balance to Springfield.”

 Brady will be joined by his wife Nancy and son Duncan on the December 29-30 tour which will include stops in 24 communities.  Local supporters and Republican legislators who have endorsed Brady’s bid for Governor will join the tour at various stops.
