Much has been written here and elsewhere about yesterday’s blog post entitled Congress, Abortion and District 19. The topic is whether Republican Nan Hayworth is worthy to be the top contender vs. progressive Democrat John Hall in this year’s Congressional race in New York’s District 19.
My attention was focused on Hayworth’s husband; Dr. Scott Hayworth because of his relationship with the political action committee “American Medical Group Association” and his position as CEO of Mount Kisco Medical Group. I questioned whether these personal connections – via a money trail — would have an impact on Hayworth’s decision-making if she were to be elected to Congress.
Dr. Scott Hayworth gave a lengthy response to the assertions made in my blog post, and in all fairness, I urge you to read it so that you can see things from his perspective.
Yesterday, some alleged that my blog post was un-sourced, assumption based on assumption, contained misinformation and conspiratorial theories. I maintain all of this is false. Here are the facts:
A review of the on-line record of donors to the Hayworth campaign indicates that a majority of them are affiliated with MKMG either through a political action committee or individually, and while there is nothing illegal about this, the implication is that Hayworth is beholden to this medical group in whatever lobby they may be a part of.
The evidence shows that Hayworth has not received campaign donations from grassroots donors at any significant level. This is the same complaint that I received via a reliable source that someone at the National Republican Campaign Committee is concerned with. Hayworth is not resonating with the grassroots swell in the District and because of her “pro-choice” stance and OB/GYN husband this may pose a problem with the pro-life faction of the Republican Party.

this is a valuable article, i’ve been looking for info on NY19. Typical that no replies and 109 views only in 3 weeks. mention UFO and Birthcertificate in the article and you will get 2000 views within a day.
I’ll get back to ya when I am done. I avoid knee-jerk reactions that every pro-choicer that shows up is a bad guy. NY19 ain’t real “fertile” ground for pro-life. pun intended.

Sounds like the pro-lifers are ready to put up a fight in #19.
Cavere & DeChiaro is where I’m leanin’.
