Just before the start of 2021, Republican Bill Brady resigned his state Senate seat in a surprise move.
"I am proud of the work I have done throughout my career in the Illinois Legislature, both in the Illinois House and the Senate," Brady said, ABC Chicago reported. "And [I'm] most proud of my tenure leading the Illinois Senate Republican Caucus over the last three-and-a-half years."
In addition to leading the Illinois Senate Republican Caucus, Brady has attempted to run for governor unsuccessfully on three occasions.
The former senator criticized Gov. J.B. Pritzker's move to close down indoor dining across Illinois.
The 59-year-old Bloomington native has yet to disclose any future plans, who is 59-years old and a native of Bloomington, Illinois.
"Our caucus was successful in securing additional funding for our public schools; helping create a tax-credit private school scholarship program for low-income and middle-income students, standing up against incomes tax hikes that hurt working families, and working tirelessly to improve our state's crumbling infrastructure," Brady said in a recent tweet.
