NRCC: Gwen Graham Will Be Nancy Pelosi's Puppet If Sent to Congress

Congressional hopeful Gwen Graham drew criticism from the National Republican Congressional Committee on Monday for her connection to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.

Graham recently released two new TV ads in North Florida -- one of which says "this messed up Congress" needed to start doing business the "North Florida way." Both ads played off of a "squabbling" partisan Washington, D.C.

Gwen Graham is trying to deceive voters with big-money TV ads but North Florida families already know she will be Nancy Pelosis puppet if sent to Congress," said NRCC spokesperson Katie Prill. "Graham needs to explain to voters why she continues to let her campaign be funded by Pelosis campaign arm and why she will support Pelosis liberal agenda in Washington.

The NRCC had previously criticized Graham for accepting money from Pelosi.

Graham will face incumbent U.S. Rep. Steve Southerland, R-Fla., for the regioncovering Tallahassee and Panama City as well as the eastern part of the Florida Panhandle.
