| Description | Montgomery City Councilwoman Martha Roby said she will be a candidate for the 2nd Congressional District seat in 2010.
The Republican said Wednesday that she has filed her paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to organize a campaign, which allows her to begin raising money.
"Having talked to local, state and national people, we're strongly encouraged by the response we have received," she told the Montgomery Advertiser.
Roby, who is in her second term on the council, could face the man who was the city's chief executive during most of her time as a city official, freshman U.S. Rep. Bobby Bright.
Bright, the former Montgomery mayor, became the first Democrat elected to the 2nd District since the 1960s. |
