Joint statement from David Schapira and Kyrsten Sinema “We are calling on Andrei Cherny to stop his Karl Rove-styled attacks and asking him to join us in running an issue-focused campaign for the Democratic nomination in Congressional District 9. Mr. Cherny needs to understand that just saying something doesn’t make it true. We agree that despite Mr. Cherny’s public comments to the contrary, he is the only Democrat in this race running a negative campaign. Mr. Cherny has also said he would like to ‘run on ideas, issues and substance – not petty name-calling or gutter politics.’ We hope he will turn over a new leaf and live up to that ideal. Before Mr. Cherny can point the finger at anyone else, he must end his brand of sleazy campaigning and focus on the real issues. We expect to have a robust debate on those issues and on our records. We are committed to that endeavor and call on Mr. Cherny to join us. ” Full Statement |
