Illinois GOP Chief Survives Another Ouster Attempt

Illinois Republican party chairman Pat Brady “emerged from another ouster attempt” and said his party “must be more welcoming of diversity and inclusive of people who disagree if it’s going to grow and win future elections,” the AP reports.

More conservative members have been trying to oust Brady for months, “largely because he took a position in favor of gay marriage when a bill to legalize it was before the Legislature earlier this year.”
