Washington Democrats abandon NY-21 candidate Mike Derrick

May 13, 2016

goodbyeWashington Democrats have abandoned NY-21 candidate Mike Derrick.  According to Politico Pro, Derrick is now one of only two Democrats in the entire country not to be elevated in the DCCC’s disastrous Red to Blue program this morning.

Suffice to say, Derrick’s support of cutting off funding to Fort Drum, funding terrorism through his support of the Iran nuclear deal and bringing terrorists onto American soil wasn’t a big hit with North Country voters.

NRCC Comment: “Mike Derrick’s support for cutting off funding to Fort Drum, support for the Iran nuclear deal that funds terrorism, and support for bringing 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed onto American soil through the closure of GITMO has made him unelectable in November.  Washington Democrats have realized this and that is why they have abandoned Mike Derrick’s campaign for Congress.” –NRCC Spokesman Chris Pack
