Good Thursday morning, Illinois. It’s
Holocaust Remembrance Day, and the issues of extremism and domestic terrorism feel uncomfortably relevant.

Brady has served in the General Assembly since 1993, first narrowly winning election to the Illinois House over seven-term Republican incumbent Gordon Ropp in 1992. Ten years later, Brady was appointed to Senate, where he has served for the past 18 years.
Brady ran for governor three times, getting closest to winning in 2010 against then-Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn. He lost his 2006 and 2014 bids for the GOP nomination for governor.
Republicans already a superminority in the Illinois Senate lost a seat on Election Day in November, even as GOP politicians throughout Illinois and the country did better than expected. After that disappointing showing, Brady’s colleagues selected a new leader, State Sen. Dan McConchie (R-Hawthorn Woods), who was set to take over in mid-January. That transition will now be moved up.
