Mike Derrick needs to stop straddling the fence

May 4, 2016

NY-21 candidate Mike Derrick continues to be evasive when he’s asked about whether he will support socialist Bernie Sanders or FBI target Hillary Clinton for president (See HERE and HERE).

But now that Sanders has defeated Clinton in every county in NY-21 and has pledged to take the fight for the Democratic nomination to a contested convention, isn’t it time for Ducking Derrick to make an endorsement?  Ducking Derrick even said, “A lot of the things that Bernie stands for, I will also stand for.” Enough things to endorse him for president?

NRCC Comment: “Mike Derrick needs to stop straddling the political fence and tell NY-21 voters who he plans to support for President.  Voters deserve to know if Mike Derrick supports a socialist or the target of an FBI investigation to lead his party’s ticket into the November elections.” –NRCC Spokesman Chris Pack
