Brady Launches TV Ad in Chicago
CHICAGO (AP) -- Republican gubernatorial candidate Bill Brady wants voters in Chicago to get to know him.

The state senator from Bloomington is launching his first ad of the general election campaign Friday. His campaign says it will air on broadcast and cable TV in the Chicago area.

In the 30-second spot, Brady blasts Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn for wanting to raise the state income tax. He says Quinn wants to "feed big government."

Quinn maintains Illinois needs the money for education because the state faces a $13 billion deficit.

In the ad, Brady introduces himself to voters as a family man and homebuilder. He appears with his wife, Nancy. Brady also says he supports contribution and term limits for politicians. And he says he wants to make it harder for lawmakers to raise taxes.
