Good news for the Bronx challengers:
"Senator Ruben Diaz, Sr. represents neighborhoods that have some of the highest rates of teen pregnancy and STD transmission in the city, yet Diaz has consistently opposed every piece of legislation aimed at addressing these issues," said Matthew Traub, Chair of the Board of Directors of the Action Fund, in a statement.
The group is also mailing against Diaz, with a story from one of its young activists who says she had an awkward encounter with the senator in an elevator at the capitol, during a lobbying trip to Albany.
"Senator Diaz Sr. must have known I was with Planned Parenthood from the t-shirt I was wearing with the logo and asked me how such a pretty girl could volunteer with Planned Parenthood," she writes. "I was speechless! I mean, what would you say if a State Senator asked you that?"
What a creep!
As for Espada, his coup last summer destroyed the Reproductive Health Act. Both the 33rd and 32nd districts will be much better off without the reckless representation of these two clowns. Election in 6 days!
