NATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR MARRIAGE REACTS TO SCOZZAFAVA'S DECISION
TO SUSPEND HER CAMPAIGN IN NY 23
Washington, DC – The National Organization for Marriage (NOM) reacted today to Dede Scozzafava's decision to suspend her campaign in NY-23's special election.
"This is a great victory for marriage, among other issues. We thank Dede Scozzfava for recognizing that her bid to become the first pro-gay marriage GOP congressman was doomed and withdrawing," said Brian Brown, executive director of NOM. "Dede's sacrifice should be a warning to other New York Republicans in the Assembly and Senate: Do not abandon GOP voters on the marriage issue. Down the road the Empire State Pride Agenda will not be there to help save you from the displeasure of New York voters, whose voices and values we are proud to represent and defend."
The National Organization for Marriage's $150,000 in independent expenditures for advertising and voter outreach in NY-23 made NOM one of the largest players in the special election after Club for Growth.
"Many issues and many people played a role: We congratulate especially Susan B. Anthony List, who made extraordinary contributions, along with Gary Bauer's Campaign for Working Families, Citizens United for Life and other social conservatives who also made key contributions to this great victory," said Brown.
To schedule an interview with Brian Brown, executive director of NOM, contact Elizabeth Ray at 703-774-6616 or Mary Beth Hutchins at 615-337-3710.
