Washington establishment Republicans are going all-in for conservative champion State Senator Jack Martins in New York’s 3rd congressional district Republican primary.
Martins refused to support the Women’s Equality Act because of his opposition to abortion rights.
Martins also opposed extending marriage rights to same-sex couples. A Siena Poll conducted last year found that an overwhelming majority of New Yorkers back marriage equality.
Given Martins’s conservative baggage, it’s no surprise that he refuses to say whether or not he supports Donald Trump and his dangerous views that make our country less safe.
“Washington Republicans are increasingly throwing their weight behind conservative champion Jack Martins, whose anti-choice views and opposition to marriage equality are at odds with the values of Long Island middle-class families,” said Bryan Lesswing at the DCCC. “No matter how much establishment Republicans try to elevate their hand-picked candidate, conservative champion Jack Martins can’t run away from his right-wing record that is out-of-step with Long Island voters.”
