Brad Morris releases TV ad: "Support"

Brad Morris, former staffer for Rep. Travis Childers (D), is running against Rep. Alan Nunnelee (R) in north Mississippi's First Congressional District, and has released the TV ad below. The ad focuses on the things that Mississippi Democrats have focused on for years, such as hard work and preserving the social safety net for when hard work isn't enough. It's a good ad, and should gain him some traction in a race that is closer than many think.


 

More on Brad Morris for Congress

Brad Morris, the Democratic candidate for Congress in Mississippi’s First Congressional District, has added a couple new ways to keep up with his campaign. You can now follow Brad on Twitter and Facebook.

A small businessman and attorney in Oxford, Morris grew up in rural Itawamba County. He served as Chief of Staff and senior advisor to former Congressman Travis Childers.

Morris offered the following statement upon entering the race:

“At the heart of this election is a choice of whether we have a Congress that is focused on growing the middle class or a Congress that is focused on protecting the interests of a privileged few. America is at its best when we all have an opportunity to improve ourselves and our family, no matter where we start in life. I am a product of those opportunities, and I want to give working families the voice they deserve in this election and in Congress.”

Democrats get a new challenger for Rep. Alan Nunnelee (R) as Brad Morris enters race

Brad Morris, the former chief of staff for Congressman Travis Childers (D), has filed to run as a Democrat against Rep. Alan Nunnelee (R). Morris is an attorney in Oxford, and should be able to make a strong run against Nunnelee, who is in his first term. Former state Rep. Mark Duvall (D-Mantachie) had entered the race, but has withdrawn in light of Morris entering the fray.

This should be one to watch.
