	Brady first campaigned for election to the Dubuque City Council in 1973. He finished third in vote total. In May 1975, he became the only council member within recent years to be censured by the council, a reprimand that could have led to his expulsion from the council. The council found Brady's conduct "injurious to the council" after an outburst over the issue of [[LORAS COLLEGE]] leasing its pool to the city for indoor swimming. Brady apologized for his conduct, and the council action was rescinded. Between 1977 and 1980 Brady was passed over for the one-year mayoral appointment several times before the change in local government to the ward system.

One of the city's most colorful and controversial public servants, Brady holds the longest tenure as mayor in the history of Dubuque. Named for boxer "Diamond" Jim Brady, the mayor witnessed most of Dubuque's modern attractions take shape during his term of office including the [[DUBUQUE FIVE FLAGS CIVIC CENTER]], [[DUBUQUE GREYHOUND PARK AND CASINO]], and the start of construction on the U.S. 61 freeway.

	Brady first campaigned for election to the Dubuque City Council in 1973. He finished third in vote total. In May 1975, he became the only council member within recent years to be censured by the council, a reprimand that could have led to his expulsion from the council. The council found Brady's conduct "injurious to the council" after an outburst over the issue of [[LORAS COLLEGE]] leasing its pool to the city for indoor swimming. Brady apologized for his conduct, and the council action was rescinded. Between 1977 and 1980 Brady was passed over for the one-year mayoral appointment several times before the change in local government to the ward system.
