Dana Siegelman, who in the past has shied away from the spotlight focused on her father, is raising her profile a bit in a bid to help her dad.

The 22-year-old daughter of former Democratic Gov. Don Siegelman recently sent a letter to more than 1,000 people asking them to join her in urging members of the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee to continue their work. The committee is investigating whether politics played a role in the prosecution of her father.

"Please join me in encouraging this committee to fight for the truth, to seek justice with all its power, and to rekindle the hope that we ought to have in our government," she wrote in the letter.

While the recent college graduate looks more like her father, she has generally followed her mother Lori's lead in avoiding the public eye .........
