Brady Campaign Files Amended Statement of Financial Interest

Philadelphia—The Brady Campaign for Mayor filed an amended statement of financial interest today with the State Ethics Committee.  Congressman Brady issued the following statement regarding the filing after lawyers determined that his original filing was proper and in compliance with applicable instructions:

“News articles about my original filing raised some questions about my statement of financial interest, so in an overabundance of caution I filed an amendment to ensure this doesn’t become a distraction from the real issues facing Philadelphia,” said Congressman Brady.  “I promised the people of Philadelphia to fight crime, and end the sad distinction of leading the nation in murders; I promised them a better education for their kids, and I promised them I would fight to create family sustaining jobs for more Philadelphians.  I’m going to keep those promises, by focusing on the issues that matter to them and becoming the next Mayor of Philadelphia.”

The Brady Campaign retained Steve Cozen, of Cozen O’Connor to handle any legal matters regarding the filing.
