Sen. Bill Brady, Republican candidate for Governor, today launched the first of his 2006 television campaign commercials with a 30-second ad highlighting his business and legislative background and his pledge to reduce taxes for Illinois citizens and businesses.

Here is the TV ad’s text:

I’m Bill Brady.
I build homes that make it tough on termites. Now, I’m running for governor to make it really tough on taxes.
As a mainstream conservative in the State Senate, I’ve never been afraid to say “no” to taxes and “yes” to families, to schools to safer streets and better roads. We can keep taxes from destroying our lives. What we need is leadership.

Announcer: Bill Brady. Republican. A new generation, a new type of Governor.
Brady is just the second candidate in the Republican gubernatorial primary to air television spots.

The commercial, which will air on television and cable stations throughout Illinois, was produced by veteran campaign communications experts Sandler-Innocenzi of Alexandria, Va. It also is available online at Brady’s campaign website, www.bradyforgovernor2006.com.

Brady has pledged to veto any increase the income or sales tax and to work for property tax relief. He has introduced legislation to repeal the 300 anti-business Blagojevich tax and fee increases and to repeal the state sales tax on motor fuel.
