 "The groundswell of support that we're seeing among Illinois
Republicans makes me very excited to be a part of this
organization," Brady said. "Senator Thompson's consistently
conservative record and his willingness to take on America's most
pressing challenges uniquely prepares him to not only lead our
party, but also win a general election, ensuring that our nation's
military will remain strong, our families safe and our taxes low."
"I'm honored to serve as vice chairman of Fred Thompson's Illinois
operation," said Manzullo. "Fred Thompson has the clear vision and
common-sense conservative principles that we need in Washington to
address the modern challenges facing our nation."
"These two leaders bring a wealth of experience to our Illinois
organization," said Randy Enwright, national political director for
the campaign. "Senator Brady and congressman Manzullo and their
combined experience in the state will help us lead a strong campaign
in the state of Illinois."
Brady has served in the Illinois Senate since 2002 and previously
served in the state House of Representatives from 1993 to 2001. He
was a candidate for the Republican nomination for governor in 2006
and has continued to travel throughout Illinois to help build a
stronger state Republican Party. He has been a leader in urging
stronger state ethics laws, promoting a stronger business climate in
Illinois and defeating massive tax increases proposed by the current
Democratic administration.
