DEBATE RECAP: Brandon Williams, Failed Congressman, Touts Failed Record on Reproductive Rights

After tonight's third debate in New York's 22nd Congressional District, MAGA extremist Brandon Williams - who has failed to deliver on local issues - proved once again that he has nothing to show for his last two years "serving" Central New York and Mohawk Valley families, especially when it comes to protecting women's reproductive rights.

During the debate, Williams couldn't answer to:

  • Why he voted multiple times to federally restrict reproductive freedom, including to jail doctors - even in New York.

  • Why he co-sponsored H.R. 7, a fervently anti-choice bill that would overturn New York State law and potentially rip away coverage of reproductive care from millions of New Yorkers.

  • Why he has an A+ rating from SBA Pro-Life America, the leading extremist group pioneering a nationwide abortion ban.

  • Why he voted to federally ban mifepristone from being sold in retail pharmacies and through mail.

  • Why he proudly endorsed Donald Trump, the leader of the MAGA extremist movement, for president - propping up Trump's dangerous agenda to implement a national abortion ban.

Meanwhile, NY-22 Democratic nominee John Mannion outlined his comprehensive plans to pass a national reproductive freedom bill to restore Roe v. Wade protections - which falls in line with his strong record on the issue and his 100% rating from Planned Parenthood.

DCCC Spokesperson Ellie Dougherty:
"Brandon Williams has failed Central New York and Mohawk Valley women by restricting their freedoms. In fourteen days, New York's 22nd Congressional District will reject Williams' extremism and support John Mannion's strong record of fighting for all women and families."
