Conservative Illinois Republicans have backed off an attempt to get rid of state party chairman Pat Brady for now… but the fight over the future of the party is most likely not over.
A group of committeemen had called a weekend meeting for a vote on dumping Brady, after he publicly urged Republicans to support same-sex marriage.
But other party leaders say such a move would hurt GOP efforts to be seen as more inclusive and open-minded.
Brady’s future could come up again at the party’s next regular meeting, set for April.
