Senate Codes committee agenda for Tuesday, April 21 @ 12:00pm:
Giffords endorses Hochul
Giffords has endorsed Governor Hochul for re-election:
“… “Throughout their careers, both Governor Hochul and Speaker Adams have proven their commitment to building safer communities and fighting gun violence, making them the leaders that New York needs right now. It is a privilege to support New York’s first all-women ticket, and I am proud to endorse both of these champions in the fight to save lives,” Giffords said …”
Big deal. This will do nothing for her re-election. The timing is a little interesting coming almost immediately after Bruce Blakeman sent out his letter, which they link to my blog:
“… Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, Hochul’s Republican challenger in New York’s governor race, has differing views about gun rights. In a March 5 letter sent to second amendment supporters in New York, the gubernatorial candidate said he will issue an executive order to create a New York Constitutional Enforcement Task Group when he’s elected “to vigorously defend the rights of law-abiding New Yorkers.” …”
I have yet to come across anyone who believes Blakeman on this.

Blakeman letter on 2A
Brady’s pick Goldman
Incumbent Congressman Dan Goldman is facing a primary against Brad Lander.
The Brady Campaign is backing Goldman:
“… “Our country is suffering from a horrific yet preventable gun violence crisis. If we want to make real and lasting change, we need leaders in Congress with a track record of fighting for gun safety and a determination to pass common-sense reform. Congressman Dan Goldman has both,” said Kris Brown, President of the Brady Campaign and Brady PAC …”
Both candidates are giant flaming turds on 2A and pretty much everything else. That said, Goldman is arguably the lesser of two evils.
