Ads Target House Democrats for Their Loyalty to Mike Madigan and Their Votes for the Most Unbalanced Budget in IL History
Over the past few weeks, House Democrats made the decision to put their loyalty to Mike Madigan above the interests of the people of Illinois. Instead of working to balance the budget and reform state government, House Democrats rammed through the most unbalanced budget in Illinois history, a budget that had a $7.5 billion deficit and would require a $1,000 tax increase on Illinois families to balance.
The Southern Illinoisan’s Editorial Board put it best this morning when they called Representatives Brandon Phelps and John Bradley, “soldiers in service to Speaker Michael Madigan.”
The Southern writes, “Mike Madigan preserved the status quo again this year, and Brandon Phelps and John Bradley were again more than willing to assist.”
Today, the House Republican Organization launched TV ads in multiple media markets across the state, targeting vulnerable Democratic legislators who walked the plank and voted for Madigan’s reckless “budget.”
The ads call out Reps. John Bradley, Brandon Phelps, Andy Skoog, Dan Beiser, and Kate Cloonen for their unflinching loyalty to Mike Madigan.
