Dear Aaron, Today, Governor Quinn appointed Michelle Saddler as his new Chief of Staff, asking her to bring her years of economic and managerial experience to a critical role as we keep Illinois on the path to recovery. Ms. Saddler brings a wealth of experience to the position. She was appointed as Secretary of the Illinois Department of Human Services last year, and also helped create Governor Quinn's successful Put Illinois to Work program, which has put 26,000 people back to work this summer. But within minutes of her appointment, the Brady Bunch was up to their usual, divisive tricks. Senator Brady's chief ally, State Senator Kirk Dillard, had this to say about Ms. Saddler's appointment: "While she, as an African-American, Asian woman, is a political choice, it remains to be seen if she can govern state government." When we talk about the political games the Brady Bunch plays, this is what we mean. Governor Quinn chose the most capable person to fill the position of Chief of Staff as he continues to guide our state through this difficult economic period. But Republicans never stop doing the political calculus and trying to divide the electorate. The Brady Bunch's craven calculations should offend every woman and person of color in this state, as well as anyone who believes in good government over divisive wedge politics. According to the Illinois GOP, the appointment of competent women and people of color is always political; they are never actually competent. We hope you'll remember what's at stake when you go to vote on November 2nd. And - right now - we need you to volunteer, contribute, and forward this email to your friends to make sure that the Brady Bunch's sad, backward tactics stay out of our state government. Sincerely, Sheila Simon,
Lt. Governor Candidate
PS - Please take a moment to watch the video and forward this email to your contacts now - Illinois voters deserve better than the Brady Bunch.
