Former Sussex County Recorder of Deeds John Brady has announced that he is running for Clerk of the Peace next year. Affectionately known as “The Big Guy,” Brady will be seeking the office being abandoned by homophobe George “Bad Wig” Parish. Brady switched back to the Democratic Party after the 2008 election.
Brady has served as an attorney in the General Assembly and as town counsel for Dewey Beach and Milton.
Back in 2008, I slammed John for what I perceived as some shortcomings. After the election, John and I sat down and had a good talk. Some of my criticisms were valid, some weren’t. John is now a good friend. His support crosses party lines and he’ll make a great Clerk of the Peace.
