A Republican ad released on Monday portrays Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick (D-AZ) as nothing more than a pair of legs in heels who will blindly follow President Obama’s lead.

The television spot, paid for by the National Republican Campaign Committee, shows a woman in a knee-length black dress and black heels, pacing back and forth with a suitcase.

According to the ad, Kirkpatrick carries “President Obama’s baggage.” The spot highlights her votes to raise the debt limit and for Obamacare, and quotes the congresswoman saying that she won’t “second-guess the president.”

According to a National Journal review, Kirkpatrick ranked among the top ten Democrats who most often buck the party line.
