AFP Goes to Bat for Steve Southerland With TV Ad

This week, Americans for Prosperitys (AFP) Florida chapter launched a television ad to support U.S. Rep. Steve Southerland, R-Fla., for opposing President Barack Obamas federal health-care law. AFP is spending $16,000 to run the ad over the next three weeks. Southerland is a top Democratic target as Gwen Graham, daughter of former Gov. and U.S. Sen. Bob Graham, is challenging him in November.

Americans for Prosperity is committed to holding lawmakers accountable for the terrible consequences of Obamcare, like lost productivity, lost access to trusted doctors, and skyrocketing insurance costs, said Slade OBrien, AFPs Florida director. But its also important to thank those who are taking a difficult stand for their constituents and let them know that when they provide real leadership, we have their backs. Thats the intent of this new ad.
