With just over a month until the special election in NY-03, Mazi Melesa Pilip’s stance on key issues remains largely unknown, including her position on defending democracy. In order to avoid a repeat of the George Santos nightmare, it is incumbent upon Pilip to face voters and answer these simple questions.
“Mazi Pilip’s absolute refusal to be upfront with voters and declare her stance on democracy and anti-corruption––issues that will be fundamental to this special election and the future of our democracy––is a major red flag,” said End Citizens United // Let America Vote President Tiffany Muller. “Without clear answers, we’re only left to conclude that she would be a rubber stamp for the extremist MAGA politicians that hand-picked her to be the Republican nominee.”
Five questions Pilip must answer:
-
Did you vote for Donald Trump in 2020, and will you unequivocally condemn him for inciting a deadly insurrection that undermined our democracy?
-
Would you certify the 2024 election results if President Joe Biden wins?
-
Do you support democracy legislation, like the Freedom to Vote Act, to stop billionaires and corporate special interests from buying our elections, shine a light on dark money, end partisan gerrymandering, and protect the freedom to vote?
-
Do you support the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to restore the full power of the Voting Rights Act?
-
Do you support overturning Citizens United?
