Bright raises more than $320,000 for 2010

The campaign of freshman U.S. Rep. Bobby Bright, D-Montgomery, reported on Wednesday that he has raised more than $320,000 since the November election and is building his war chest for 2010.
Bright, in November, became the first Democrat in more than 40 years to win the District 2 seat in Congress.
Observers expect an expensive, hard-fought race in 2010 with Republicans seeking to regain the seat.
Bright, according to a release from his campaign, used some of the money to pay off campaign debt and is starting the cycle debt-free.
He said, in the statement, that he was concerned about representing District 2, but is pleased his campaign has raised money to prepare for a challenge.
