Don't work against Luther Strange, GOP campaign arm warns consultants

The National Republican Senatorial Committee, which recruits and defends Republican candidates, could not immediately be reached for comment. But Politico first reported on the NRSC's stance, and it has been republished on political blogs.

The NRSC's push to make it more difficult for Strange's opponents to hire political consultants gives the senator a larger advantage in holding on to his seat as the summer's special election looms.

"We have made it very clear from the beginning that Sen. Luther Strange would be treated as an incumbent," NRSC spokeswoman Katie Martin told Politico, according to remarks posted the Andalusia Star. "It has also been a clear policy that we will not use vendors who work against our incumbents."

Strange has been a senator for nearly four months after he was appointed by then-Gov. Robert Bentley to fill the seat left vacant by Jeff Sessions, who left the Senate to be President Donald Trump's attorney general.

Christian Coalition of Alabama president Dr. Randy Brinson, state Rep. Ed Henry, and former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore have announced they are running for the seat as well.

I totally agree with you.

He’s never answered for the money his pretty little “assistant” received.

Roy is real, for the most part.

Luther is just a player. He knows how to play the game. But he always plays to benefit Luther.

Same here. I thought she would cave - did you hear anything about McConnell trying to persuade her not to have a special election? Maybe I dreamed that but I thought I heard something about a phone call from him.

Why this is just like the RATs here in CA telling contractors who work on Trump’s wall are of the list of qualified bidders for state business.


This is why I was careful in donating only to Trump—made sure the money went to him not the RNC or NRSC.

The Gov sounds like a real swamp monster—DRAIN THE SWAMP!

I quit donating to any arm of the GOP years ago. They RNC is a bigger enemy of the people than the RATS.

Didn’t hear that, but the strange-armed Aderholt out.
