Republican gubernatorial candidates Senators Bill Brady and Kirk Dillard air this week on the Illinois Channel

********************************
Senator Dillard [Republican Primary gubernatorial candidate]: I just gave you my Republican credentials as ...the Republican Chairman of this place [DuPage County]... My wife’s Great, Great grandfather nominated Abraham Lincoln for the Presidency, was the eulogizer at his funeral and buried him. So, I think I’m a pretty good Republican. Thank you.

Cisco Cotto: And, then [your wife’s Great, Great grandfather] went and gave a speech for [Stephen] Douglas, right? But, it was in the Primary. [LOL from the crowd].
******************************************`
This week's Illinois Channel program features interviews with Republican Primary gubernatorial candidates Senator Bill Brady (R-Bloomington) and Senator Kirk Dillard (R-Westmont). These interviews will air this week throughout the State of Illinois from Monday thru Sunday on the Illinois Channel. You can watch them on the web through Sunday on the Illinois Channel website by clicking the picture relating to the Conservative Summit [That picture will display by late Monday morning] and also you can watch the show on the Illinois Channel's cable outlets.

The interviews were conducted at the Conservative Summit, which was held on September 4, 2009 at Carlucci's Restaurant in Downer's Grove and was sponsored by the United Republican Fund and WIND 560 AM Radio. The Summit consisted of interviews by Cisco Cotto, WIND 560 AM Radio of six individuals who had announced, at that time, as Republican Primary candidates for Governor: Senator Bill Brady, Senator Kirk Dillard, Senator Matt Murphy, Cook County Board Chairman Bob Schillerstrom, Entrepreneur Adam Andrzejewski, and Political Consultant and Media Personality Dan Proft [See here for more about the Conservative Summit].

Since that time Senator Matt Murphy has announced he is running for Lt. Gov. on a ticket with Andy McKenna, who is expected to announce for Governor in early October. We anticipate the Illinois Channel will air, over the next few weeks, the interviews with the remaining gubernatorial candidates who appeared at the Conservative Summit.

The Illinois Channel cable outlets air a two hour, weekly block of programming on cable. The forty minute segment with candidates Brady and Dillard is the first of several segments airing on the Illinois Channel this week, and that segment will air starting at the very beginning of that two hour block of programming.
