Martha Roby Gets Montgomery Advertiser Endorsement
Here's what they had to say:
Four Republican candidates are seeking their party's nomination for the right to face Democratic incumbent Congressman Bobby Bright in the November general election.Of the four, Montgomery City Council member Martha Roby appears to have the best combination of experience and insight into the issues facing the residents of U.S. House District 2.Roby has served on the Montgomery City Council since 2003, where she has ably represented a racially and economically diverse council district. Roby earned her law degree from Cumberland School of Law at Samford University in 2001, and practiced law for several years.She has been a strong community volunteer, having worked with Sav-A-Life Montgomery, the Cleveland Avenue YMCA, the Britton YMCA, the Montgomery Area Business Committee for the Arts and the Montgomery Weed and Seed executive board.The other woman in the race, State Board of Education member Stephanie Bell of Montgomery, also has ably served the people of the area in public office for many years. As a state board member, Bell spoke out early and often about the corruption that tainted the state's two-year college system for so many years. But Roby's experience in office is more varied than Bell's, which has focused on the education arena.Based on her service as a city council member, her grasp of the issues facing the district, and her strong work ethic, the Montgomery Advertiser recommends Roby to Republican voters in the District 2 congressional race.
