Brady: I'm In Governor's Race to Stay "totally committed" to winning this election

Sen. Bill Brady reaffirmed Tuesday that he will be a candidate for Governor on the ballot next year.
“I am totally committed to winning this election for Governor and to bringing a new generation of leadership to Illinois and state government,” Brady said. “I see new energy in my campaign every day from volunteers and supporters who believe I am the best candidate to beat Rod Blagojevich and to bring new vitality and integrity to Illinois.”
Brady said he was not interested in other spots on the ticket, as some have suggested.
“I am running for Governor, period,” Brady said. “I would not be in this race if I did not firmly believe that I am the best candidate to lead the renewal of my party and our state.”
Brady said his campaign has the momentum, the enthusiasm, the support and the financial commitments to mount a strong campaign over the next 12 months.
“This will be a winning campaign,” Brady said.
Brady was endorsed by a Conservative Summit similar to one that bolstered the campaigns of Al Salvi in 1996 and Peter Fitzgerald in 1998. He is building a strong grassroots organization and has already received assurances of financial assistance from national Republican organizations for the campaign after the primary election.
Brady said his solid standing in recent public opinion polls shows widespread support for his effort, despite the fact that he has not previously been a statewide campaign or spent millions of dollars for television commercials to boost his name identification.
Brady, a 12-year veteran of the General Assembly and a Central Illinois businessman for the last 25 years, announced July 26 he would seek the GOP nomination for Governor in 2006.

Wafa's commentary:
Sen. Bill Brady is showing us that he is a serious person, sure about his goals, and never gives up. He is reaffirming that next year will be a candidate for Governor on the ballot. He has a positive view of his campaign. He has many volunteers and supporters that believe in him. He don’t want to run for other job, he just want to be what he likes to be a Governor. He is sure about his campaign is going to win; after all he has the enthusiasm and the financial support to continue for the next 12 months. He is building strong organizations and is supported by the national Republican organizations. He prefers to speak directly to the public and not wasting money for television commercials to boost his name identification.

I believe that Senator Bill Brady would make a great governor for Illinois. He is a well qualified candidate and as a legislator for 12 years, he has worked very hard in his campaign. I think that he cares about us people and that he is telling the truth. I attended a speech of his at my college Moraine Valley Community College and he was a very spontaneous person. I agree that he preferred to speak at the public directly than through the television, so we can ask him whatever we want. He knows what he is doing and what he is running as, he wants to be a Governor and I hope he wins. If the people that are supporting him knew that he is not saying the truth then for sure they wouldn’t support him as they are until now.

Congressman Tim Johnson Endorses Brady for Governor; Cites Brady’s “Integrity and Stature”

Sen. Bill Brady, Republican candidate for Governor, today welcomed the endorsement of Illinois Congressman Tim Johnson.

Congressman Johnson endorsed Brady for Governor in the 2006 Republican primary election, saying Brady is the only candidate who has “both the integrity and the stature” to unite Illinois and to solve the state’s fiscal challenges and the current administration’s ethical failures.

“Bill Brady is the one person in the field of primary and general election opponents who has both the integrity and the stature to unite this party and this state, from Chicago to Cairo, for a productive future,” Johnson said.

"All of us, Republican or Democrat, Downstate, suburban and Chicagoans, are weary of our governor’s fiscal missteps and ethical lapses, as well as the endless partisan bickering that robs us of hope and optimism for the future. The solution is Bill Brady,” added Johnson.

Johnson, who represents all or parts of 22 counties in Illinois’ 15th District, made the announcement with Brady at news conferences in Champaign-Urbana and Bloomington.

Brady said he was honored to have Johnson’s endorsement and support.

“As Governor, I will need the assistance and advice of a strong Illinois delegation in Washington, and Tim Johnson is such a vital part of that delegation,” Brady said. “He is a respected, principled, hard-working leader, and I am honored and grateful to have him standing beside me as we work to create jobs in Illinois, restore the faith of the public in their government and rein in state spending.”

Brady, a Bloomington businessman and 12-year veteran of the Illinois General Assembly, announced his candidacy for Governor July 26.

Wafa's Summary
Sen. Bill Brady, Republican candidate for Governor is very happy that Johnson, who represents all or parts of 22 counties in Illinois’ 15th District, is supporting him. Johnson said that Brady has both the integrity and the stature to unite this party and this state, from Chicago to Cairo, for a productive future. He seems that he believe Brady on every thing and every word he made. Finally, they are saying good things about each other and that they support each other.
My Comments
When any person has good reputation others will help and support that person. This is exactly the case of Sen. Brady, he is supported by important ones like Tim Johnson. I think that Sen. Bill Brady is mighty acting. It is not quite easy running for Governor; however, he is working hard to earn that honor.
