On Friday, Gov. Pat Quinn welcomed State Sen. Bill Brady into the gubernatorial general election race by characterizing his voting record in the General Assembly as "extreme." Tribune columnist Eric Zorn asked the Quinn camp to provide a bit more detail on that record. Today, they sent a laundry list of specific votes Brady has taken to back up their statement. There's plenty of reason for voter concern here. On multiple occasions, Brady opposed a minimum wage hike. He was just one of four lawmakers to vote against an extension of the breast cancer research tax write-off. And he opposed a bill requiring health insurance companies to cover contraceptives, even suggesting he would prohibit access to emergency contraception if given the opportunity.

Tomorrow, we're planning on covering a press conference in which several advocacy groups -- Planned Parenthood, the National Organization for Women, Personal PAC, and others -- will denounce Brady's positions on women's issues. Check back for our full report.
