Speaking Up & Out about Advocates for Choice — & Exposing Anti-Choice Candidates!
“The women of New York need Shelley Mayer in the New York Senate. She is a true advocate, 100% pro-choice and has spent both her professional career and private life battling for women to have unimpeded access to comprehensive healthcare, including abortion and contraception. The Road to 21st Century Reproductive Care in New York runs straight through the 37th NYS Senate District. We must put Shelley in the driver’s seat on April 24th!” Catherine Lederer-Plaskett
We were joined by NOW – Westchester and NARAL Pro-Choice America – and Senator Andrea Stewart Cousins!

WCLA PAC ENDORSES SHELLEY MAYER for NYS Senate District 37*
SPECIAL ELECTION
Tuesday, April 24, 2018
SHELLEY MAYER – OUR CHOICE FOR NY STATE SENATE! <>Shelley is 100% pro-choice and has spent both her professional career and private life battling for women to have unimpeded access to comprehensive healthcare including abortion and contraception, regardless of age, race, class, status, geography or ability to pay.
<>Shelley supports the Reproductive Health Act and the Comprehensive Contraceptive Coverage Act, and has voted for the passage of both while in the Assembly. As a State Senator, she will continue the fight to make these two bills New York State law.
<>Shelley is committed to the funding of our health centers and Planned Parenthood.
<>She is an outspoken advocate for gender equality, equal pay, and an end to sexual harassment and abuse.
<>Shelley has signed a pledge promising NOT to join the IDC*!
<>Shelley is rated A+ by WCLA – Choice Matters!
IN SHARP CONTRAST, her Opponent is Anti-Choice and puts Big Business before people – AND WILL BE ONE MORE VOTE FOR THE PARTY OF TRUMP IN ALBANY!
<>This Opponent refuses to support the Reproductive Health Act which would remove abortion from New York’s penal code, put it in the health code, and provide women with the 21st century healthcare we deserve.
<>This Opponent doesn’t believe that health insurance plans need to cover contraceptives. INSTEAD, she believes the insured woman should pay extra, out of her own pocket, every month. (That would be a “no” to the Comprehensive Contraceptive Coverage Act then…??)
<>This Opponent thinks that the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby is “no issue”. That decision allows corporations to claim so-called religious convictions in order to refuse to provide contraception as part of their health insurance plans. (Remember, businesses make a conscious decision to incorporate, giving up any ownership by individuals, to gain tax breaks and avoid liability.) This Opponent thinks this is “no issue”, allowing corporations to refuse to provide contraception as part of the health insurance plans.
<>This Opponent refuses to take a stand on the funding of stem cell research and family planning.
This Opponent will govern with the Party of Trump and the IDC.
WCLA – Choice Matters & WCLA PAC respectively have rated and/or endorsed the candidates based upon their positions on a woman’s right to choose. These ratings have been made based upon this year’s process & the 2017 and 2016 process and questionnaires.
*What comprises NYS Senate District #37? Bedford, Eastchester, Harrison, Mamaroneck, North Castle, Rye (City & Town), and parts of New Rochelle, White Plains and Yonkers.The 37th district is incredibly gerrymandered to favor Republicans.
**Why a Special Election? This Special Election was called after then-Senator George Latimer was elected to be Westchester’s County Executive in November 2017. Latimer represented the 37th Senate District prior to the November election.
***What is the IDC? The IDC (so-called “Independent Democratic Conference”) is a group of 8 rogue Democrats. This group of 8 have taken the majority away from the duly elected Democrats and given it to the Party of Trump, the Republicans. The IDC literally stripped the majority away from the Democrats in the Senate by throwing their voting power in with the Republicans — All the while deceiving their own constituents by not telling the voters about their slight-of-hand actions on Election Day, or any other day. Click here to see the names of the 8 IDC members. These fake Dems deliberately catapulted the Party of Trump into the majority. No progressive legislation can come to the floor of the Senate until these 8 return to the Democratic Caucus, or are replaced.
The Special Election is THIS TUESDAY, August 9th, to elect the Westchester County Board of Legislator for the 14th District, representing South East Yonkers and Mount Vernon.
This election can help turn the Westchester legislature back into a pro-woman, pro-family, pro-safe-access-to-women’s-healthcare county government.
Come Out & Vote for Pro-Choice Christine Peters.
WHY HOLD AN ELECTION IN THE SUMMER?
This is a power play and they are using voter suppression tactics to do it.
Westchester County Board Chairman Kaplowitz and anti-choice legislators Maisano, Marcotte, Gelfarb, Testa, Corcoran, Cunzio, Burrows and Perez – with the support of extremist County Executive Astorino – voted to schedule the Special Election on August 9th instead of on Primary Day, Tuesday, September 13th – even though it will cost Westchester taxpayers $100,000 in additional tax dollars.Why? Because they hope you won’t vote. Primary Day would have produced a bigger voter turnout because of elections being held in Mount Vernon – and those legislators don’t like that. They want their handpicked anti-choice Party boy, who will vote in lockstep with them, to represent the 14th district.
Their motivation for holding this Special Election in the middle of the summer is to suppress voter turnout. THIS IS VOTER SUPPRESSION RIGHT HERE IN WESTCHESTER — AND THEY ARE USING OUR TAX DOLLARS TO DO IT!
Show those anti-choice anti-woman extremists that you won’t be manipulated. It is your constitutional right to vote & you won’t let them take it from you.
It is Time to Elect Integrity – It is time for pro-choice Todd Kaminsky
WCLA PAC is taking back the New York State Senate from anti-choice, corrupt officials of all parties –One Seat at a Time – and we are starting with NYS Senate District #9 in Nassau County.
We are working hard, identifying one pro-choice voter at a time, so that we can activate them to vote.
Todd’s opponent is a truly frightening. Right-wing Republican Christopher McGrath stands for nothing other than his party affiliation. He refuses to answer questionnaires – and truthfully why should he? He does not have a position on anything because he will do as he is told by his party bosses.
Make no mistake, Todd’s opponent will stand with Ted Cruz or Donald Trump, whoever is nominated. He will not stand with the people of New York, but instead will follow those who are vehemently anti-choice and anti-women.
This is our greatest opportunity to show that we stand for Choice. Choice means women’s comprehensive reproductive rights and women’s comprehensive healthcare choices.
Remember, we’ve finally gotten rid of major corruption in the form of anti-choice Republican extremist Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos, who was convicted, along with his son, on federal corruption charges.
Let’s change the tide and elect Integrity – pro-choice Todd Kaminsky!
Our Country and our State are at a crossroads. We can support the Constitution and people’s right to choose which includes religion, political affiliation and control of our own bodies – or we can choose to go the other way with the likes of Ted Cruz.
