Rep. Bright ad: My constituents 'don't want a liberal running the House'

By Shane D'Aprile - 10/12/10 03:43 PM ET

Rep. Bobby Bright (D-Ala.) took aim at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) in his latest campaign ad, saying, "I've heard my constituents and they don't want a liberal running the House. They want a conservative." 

In the 30-second spot, Bright highlights his recent proclamation that he won't vote for Pelosi again as Speaker of the House. Instead, Bright says he'll vote for the person who will allow him to best represent his constituents. 

Bright also vows in the ad to help repeal the healthcare law, noting that "anyone who tells you otherwise is just downright lying." 

Last week, Bright pledged to not vote for Pelosi as Speaker should Democrats retain their majority after November's midterm elections. 

  

Bright faces a tough reelection fight against Republican Martha Roby in one of the most conservative districts in the country. His last TV spot featured a photo of him next to one of House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) and claimed that Bright voted with the Republican leader 80 percent of the time.
