Brady’s pick Goldman

On: By: admin

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.
