With Republican congressional hopeful Bradley Byrne having dispatched of the GOP competition in Alabama’s first congressional district, the heavy-hitters are coming together to make sure he’s well funded for the upcoming general election and beyond.
U.S. Sens. Richard Shelby and Jeff Sessions are spearheading a fundraiser for Byrne on Dec. 10 in Washington, D.C.
Other special guests will include the rest of the Republicans in Alabama’s House delegation, House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy, and numerous other congressmen from around the country. Suggested contributions range from $1,000 to $5,000.
Alabama Reps. Martha Roby, Mike Rogers and Mo Brooks already dropped $2,500 each into Byrne’s campaign in the home stretch of the Republican primary runoff. With the general election against Democrat Burton LeFlore scheduled for Dec. 17 — and the prospect of already having to run for re-election in 2014 if he wins — Byrne is keeping the fundraising push going.
