Wiregrass businessman Jeff Coleman, a Republican candidate to succeed U.S. Rep. Martha Roby (R-Montgomery) in Alabama’s Second Congressional District, on Tuesday announced that his campaign will be going up on television with an advertisement in the Dothan and Montgomery media markets.
The 30-second advertisement is an adaptation of the longer web video, “Mover and Shaker,” that Coleman released last week.
This comes after Coleman recently kicked off his campaign to a packed crowd in Dothan. He has been designated “On the Radar” by the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), and he ended the third fundraising quarter with nearly $1 million cash-on-hand after raising $468,001 and loaning his campaign $500,000.
Coleman is a former chairman of the Business Council of Alabama (BCA) and former civilian aide to the secretary of the U.S. Army for Alabama (South).
Other qualified GOP candidates include Prattville businesswoman Jessica Taylor, former Alabama Attorney General Troy King and former State Rep. Barry Moore (R-Enterprise).
Roby is not seeking reelection to a sixth term.
