IN CASE YOU MISSED IT
Statement from DCCC spokeswoman Meredith Kelly: “Congressman Katko has made it abundantly clear to Central New Yorkers – he can’t be counted on to stand up for women’s health care, and he can’t even be counted on to keep his word. After promising he wouldn’t vote to defund Planned Parenthood, he did just that. John Katko has shown a total disregard for women who rely upon Planned Parenthood for access to critical, life-saving health care services like mammograms and cervical cancer screenings. Women across Central New York deserve a leader who will stand up for their health care needs instead of the radical ideology of the Republican Congress.”

“U.S. Rep. John Katko, R-Camillus, joined the majority of Republicans in voting 241-187 to pass the mostly symbolic measure, which would cut off about $500 million in aid to Planned Parenthood.”
“Katko had promised during his 2014 campaign for Congress that he would not vote to defund Planned Parenthood.”
