Annoying? Perhaps. Memorable? Definitely.
District 9 State Senate GOP candidate State Rep. Brock Colvin's (R-Albertville) campaign released a 60-second radio spot declaring Colvin the "hard-nosed conservative" on Thursday, a parody of the "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" Christmas carol.
Lyrics as follows:
January 9, a special election is coming.
Marshall and Madison and Blount will be humming — when we elect the best conservative from all the rest.
Brock Colvin, the hard-nosed conservative, never ever raised a tax. He will protect our freedoms and never take from liberal PACs.
All of the other candidates are just not as strong as Brock. He cares more for our district. He's been knocking on doors on every block.
Then, one foggy December day, Brock Colvin was heard to say, 'Banning mask mandates I support, and boys should not be in girls' sports.'
On January 9, there's one choice: a conservative we can trust, Brock Colvin, the hard-nosed conservative. Voting Brock is a must.
Colvin's ad is reminiscent of one from State Rep. Ernie Yarbrough's (R-Trinity) successful 2022 Republican primary victory over then-incumbent State Rep. Proncey Robertson (R-Mt. Hope) that was a parody of the theme to the 1960s television show Gilligan's Island.
Colvin faces State Rep. Wes Kitchens (R-Arab) and Stacy George in the Senate District 9 Republican primary on January 9, 2024 to fill the vacancy left by State Senate Majority Leader Clay Scofield (R-Guntersville), who left the Alabama Senate to take a job with the Business Council of Alabama.
