Washington (CNN) — Sen. Scott Brown’s vote Wednesday for the Democratic-backed $15 billion jobs bill is a sign that he’s showcasing a campaign pledge to bring an independent mind to Washington, a Senate analyst said.

“I think this shows independence,” said Brian Darling, director of Senate relations for the conservative think tank Heritage Foundation. “A $15 billion jobs bill is an important vote, but it’s not going to be one of the more important votes that they are going to have this year.”

Brown, who received widespread support from conservatives and Republicans, was also able to win over independent voters and Democrats in the solidly blue state.
