In response to April McClain Delaney's new television advertisement, Delegate Joe Vogel's campaign issued a statement reminding Maryland's 6th Congressional District voters of McClain Delaney's history of donating to an anti-choice politician, and her close relationship with Chief Justice John Roberts, who led the court that overturned Roe v. Wade.
“April McClain Delaney has stood by and supported anti-choice politicians responsible for stripping away a woman's right to choose and bodily autonomy. Saying that she'll fight to regain the right to choose stands in stark contrast to her record. Voters deserve to know the truth," said Oren Adam, Vogel Campaign Manager.
Adam continued, “Meanwhile, Delegate Joe Vogel has a record of fighting for women's reproductive health care as a state legislator. We expect Democratic primary voters to see right through the Delaney campaign's misleading ad, and should know when out-of-touch millionaires aren't telling the truth."
April Delaney’s Donation History:
Delaney made max out contributions to anti-choice politicians like Senator Jim DeMint,
