Republican Christine Shanahan McGovern and incumbent Democrat Bill Cunningham both said they do not support the elimination of cash bail as proposed under the SAFE-T Act.
Republican Christine Shanahan McGovern says she’s running for state Senate because she’s disappointed in the way state leaders handled school and business closures during the COVID-19 pandemic, challenging incumbent Democrat Bill Cunningham, who calls himself a “middle of the road consensus builder.”
A goal of the SAFE-T Act is for all police departments to have body cameras by 2025, which McGovern called an “expensive unfunded mandate.” McGovern said she had to undergo fertility treatment to get pregnant, which gave her “a different perspective on the value of life.”“I believe that every life has value in it, that they have a future. That is my position on abortion,” she said.
As a way to limit abortions, McGovern said she’d support legislation that makes the adoption process easier for people who want to adopt children. McGovern said state funding should not be allocated toward helping out-of-state patients to get an abortion.Cunningham said he backs federal legislation to protect patients traveling to the state to receive an abortion from being prosecuted in their home state.
