Illinois Republican Chairman Pat Brady is expected to resign Tuesday, the Chicago Tribune reports.
“The resignation comes after Brady survived an attempt last month to oust him as GOP chairman over his support for gay marriage…
Brady created a controversy within the state GOP in January
when he endorsed pending legislation that would legalize same-sex
marriage in Illinois. The measure passed the Illinois Senate in February
with the support of one Republican.”
