Jeb Bush stumps for Brady in Bloomington

Republican candidate for governor Bill Brady says he's found a role model in former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.

The brother of former President George Bush appeared with Brady in Chicago on Thursday.

Jeb Bush says he likes Brady's commitment to limited government and enthusiasm for free markets. He says he's advised Brady to fully fund Illinois' pension system.

Bush also took a few jabs at Illinois politics. He says it's hard not to keep up on what's happening in the state because of national attention he figures is humiliating to "normal, everyday people."

Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn said Wednesday it was "insulting" to the people of Illinois for Brady to bring in a member of the Bush family to cheerlead for him.

Quinn contends former President Bush ran the nation's economy "into the ground."
