Republican nominee for U.S. House of Representatives Bob Turner received the endorsement of the Jewish Voice, a local paper with distribution around the New York area, in the NY-9 special election taking place September 13th. Turner faces Democratic opponent Rep. David Weprin, a local Assemblyman.
The Jewish Voice editorial, released online in advance of its Friday publication, criticized Weprin’s support for the New York gay marriage legislation, for his relative dovishness on Israel compared to Turner, and supported Turner’s economic positions.
Here’s an excerpt from the endorsement:
On the same day that New Yorkers choose between Turner and Weprin, Nevadans can vote in the NV-02 special election campaign that pits former Nevada Republican chairman Mark Amodei against State Treasurer Kate Marshall, D-Nev. Early voting indicates that Amodei has an edge in the race to higher Republican turnout.
