Here’s how the conversation about this legislation is playing out in Pennsylvania’s hotly contested Democratic Senate primary:
-
To no one’s surprise, Joe Sestak and John Fetterman have aligned themselves with the left wing of the Democratic Party, both announcing their opposition to this legislation.
- Katie McGinty, on the other hand, is employing her ongoing strategy of waiting to take a position on important issues. Instead of saying where she stands on this legislation, “the McGinty campaign released a statement calling for a senator ‘who will fight for real immigration reform.’”
“Katie McGinty’s inability to lead on yet another critical public safety matter should scare Pennsylvania voters. It’s clear that McGinty would rather dodge important policy questions until the Party leadership who line her campaign coffers tell her what to think.” – NRSC National Press Secretary, Alleigh Marré
The Stop Sanctuary Policies Act is spearheaded by U.S. Senators David Vitter (R-La.), Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), and Charles Grassley (R-Iowa). This past weekend, Senator Toomey offered the Weekly Republican Address, during which he discussed the importance of the Stop Sanctuary Policies Act.
