Conservative Brady to Appeal on Budget Issues
CHICAGO (AP) -- Republican nominee for Illinois governor Bill Brady says he will try to appeal to voters on fiscal issues when they don't share his conservative viewpoint on social issues.

Brady says he's heard from people who disagree with his opposition to abortion who say they'll support him because he has a state budget plan.

The state senator from Bloomington kicked off a victory tour Monday after being declared the GOP nominee last week by a margin of less than 200 votes.

Brady says he can win voters even if they disagree with him on social issues because they want someone who can lead the state out of "economic disaster."

Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn has pushed for an income tax increase to help fix the state's ailing budget. Brady says Illinois can't afford to raise taxes.
