We have a Republican that will NOT back a national abortion ban…..
He’s in New York , of course……
BTW?
If Gillian could get her seat House seat back and Santos loses his US House seat back to a Democrat?
Long Island, New York could, on it’s own, cut the Republican House marging by 1/3 or so…..
In a surprise announcement only months after losing her re-election bid to represent the Fourth District in Congress, Democrat Laura Gillen said Wednesday morning that she plans to run for the seat she lost to Republican Anthony D’Esposito.
She came out with a blistering attack against D’Esposito, saying he is aligned with the extreme elements of the GOP.
Gillen, a Democrat who had been Hempstead town supervisor, lost to D’Esposito in November’s election in what was widely regarded as a Republican sweep on Long Island.
In an early morning statement Wednesday, Gillen said she is running “because public service can be a noble calling that makes people’s lives better; but too many in Washington care about political gamesmanship, sound bites and photo opportunities than actually making real progress for our families.”
Gillen, a lawyer, returned to private practice after her loss to D’Esposito, a former New York City police officer and Hempstead town board member. During the fall campaign, D’Esposito, like other Long Island Republicans, hammered on the theme that Democrats were soft on crime….
