On Friday, Vice President Mike Pence formally endorsed Rep. Martha Roby (R-Montgomery) in her runoff contest against former Rep. Bobby Bright for the Republican Party’s nomination.
“President Trump and I support Martha Roby – a strong supporter of tax cuts & President Trump’s pro-growth, America First agenda! Get out Tuesday and support Team Roby,” Pence wrote in a tweet.

Roby expressed her gratitude for the endorsement from Pence, who she also served in Congress with before Pence became Indiana’s governor.
“I am very grateful to Vice President Pence for his support in my campaign for reelection in Alabama’s Second District,” Roby said in a statement. “I was fortunate to serve with the Vice President in the House, and I am proud to call him a friend. I deeply appreciate his endorsement, and I am eager to continue working with the Administration in the fight for our shared conservative priorities.”
Last month, President Donald Trump formally endorsed the incumbent congresswoman on the heels of being the leading vote-getter in the Republican primary.
Congresswoman Martha Roby of Alabama has been a consistent and reliable vote for our Make America Great Again Agenda. She is in a Republican Primary run-off against a recent Nancy Pelosi voting Democrat. I fully endorse Martha for Alabama 2nd Congressional District!
