DEBATE WATCH: Will NY-01 Dems finally take some positions?

February 3, 2016

paint dryAs you’re painfully aware, watching paint dry has been more exciting than the Democratic primary campaign in NY-01.  But with Anna Throne-Holst and Dave Calone set to square off in their first debate tonight, will they start taking positions on the issues important to Suffolk County families?

Here are a few questions these two Democrats should answer:

  1. If you are elected, will you vote for Nancy Pelosi as Speaker?
  2. Do you support socialist Bernie Sanders or FBI target Hillary Clinton for President?
  3. Do you support the Iran nuclear deal that John Kerry admits will fund terrorist groups?
  4. Do you support closing Guantanamo Bay and bringing known terrorists onto American soil?
  5. Do you support Lee Zeldin’s bill to stop the sale of Plum Island?
  6. Do you support Lee Zeldin’s Safe Bridges Act, which increases funding for bridges in need of repair?

NRCC Comment:  “Watching paint dry has been more exciting than watching the Democratic primary unfold in New York’s 1st District between Anna Throne-Holst and Dave Calone.  Now that these two Democrats have to square off in their first debate tonight we will finally begin seeing just how out-of-touch they are with Suffolk County families.” –NRCC Spokesman Chris Pack
