A new television ad targeting Illinois State Rep. John Bradley has hit the air.
Bradley is one of two Democratic representatives who have been heavily scrutinized by scathing ads paid for by the Illinois Republican Party ahead of the elections in November.
The ads tie Bradley and others to Speaker Mike Madigan, who is wildly unpopular. This is all part of a Republican push to gain control of the Illinois House and Senate this November.
The content of the ad is as follows:
“John Bradley says one thing here: 'I'm John Bradley. I'll never stop fighting for Southern Illinois.' But does another thing there. The Madigan thing. And when Bradley does the Madigan thing we pay the price. massive debt, higher taxes, a bailout for Chicago schools. Bradley even supported tax breaks for a company that closed shop here (Mt. Vernon) and shipped our jobs (68 employees) to Chicago. John Bradley doing the Madigan thing, the wrong thing for southern Illinois.”
Bradley is facing Republican candidate David Severin in the November election.
