Former Wonder Woman star Lynda Carter has made headlines by publicly endorsing two Democrats, Karen Gresham and Kelli Butler, in the race for Arizona House of Representatives District 4, instead of her sister Pamela Carter. This move has injected some celebrity star power into the local political race.
The candidates are vying for two House seats, with the issue of abortion being a key point of contention. Gresham supports a ballot initiative that would protect access to abortion in Arizona, while Pamela Carter is running on an anti-abortion platform. Incumbent Rep. Matt Gress, who is also running as a Republican, has previously voted for a repeal of Arizona’s near-total abortion ban.
Despite the political divide within her own family, Pamela Carter released a statement expressing love and respect for her sister’s differing political views. Gress, on the other hand, emphasized his willingness to work with members of both parties and rejected what he viewed as extreme positions on the issue of abortion.
The endorsement from Lynda Carter has certainly added a fascinating twist to the Arizona House race and has drawn attention to the importance of reproductive rights in this year’s election. As the campaign heats up, it remains to be seen how this celebrity endorsement will impact the outcome of the race in District 4.
