It is “irrational” and “illogical” to suggest U.S. Rep. Bob Brady, D-Pa., is still a candidate for Philadelphia mayor and thus bound by city campaign finance laws in repaying $450,000 in legal fees seven years after Brady lost the primary, his attorney argued before the state Supreme Court.
Stephen A. Cozen of Cozen O’Connor was arguing before the court Wednesday on behalf of his law firm, which is seeking a ruling that the firm can either forgive in toto the $450,000 in legal fees Brady owes the firm for defending a challenge to Brady’s position on the 2007 primary ballot, or that Brady could raise money above the contribution limits to pay off the debt.
