Lynda Carter, the actress who portrayed Surprise Girl within the titular Seventies TV present, is endorsing Arizona Democratic candidates over her sister, Pamela Carter, who’s working as an “America First” Republican in Arizona’s 4th Legislative District.
The actress wrote, “As a native Arizonan, I am proud to endorse Kelli Butler and Karen Gresham for the two LD4 seats in Arizona’s State House. Kelli and Karen are both strong, experienced candidates, born and raised in Arizona. They are working mothers fighting for the rights that matter most to Arizonans, especially every child’s right to a quality education.”
Carter was extra to the purpose in a assertion to Mom Jones, writing, “On her website, Pam claims to have her ‘family’s full support. I have known Pam my entire life, which is why I sadly cannot endorse her for this or any public office.”
Carter has been a Democratic supporter for a while. In contrast to her sister, she has been lively in selling reproductive rights, stumping at an occasion for President Joe Biden’s then-campaign as lately as June.
Pamela Carter is an anti-abortion minister who served as an advisor to Donald Trump’s 2020 marketing campaign and has claimed to be “blessed with end-time revelation.” She responded to the snub by saying, “I love my sister even though her politics are very far left and we disagree on some issues. That doesn’t change how I feel about her, so you won’t catch me criticizing her or bad-mouthing her in the press.”
Gresham, the president of an area elementary college board, responded to the information, “That was very exciting. I was very honored to have the endorsement of Wonder Woman herself, Lynda Carter.”
“My campaign is about rejecting extremism and working together to build an Arizona where we put our families first, whether it’s protecting access to reproductive healthcare or fighting for every child’s right to a quality education,” Butler, a former state consultant, stated in a assertion to AZ Central. “Our district is crucial to bringing change to Arizona and I am honored to have Lynda Carter’s endorsement.”
