Congresswoman Haley Stevens' Fiancé Denies Influencing Her Endorsement

Times of India - India · india

Democratic Congresswoman Haley Stevens' fiancé, Jason Turkish, has denied allegations that he unduly influenced her decision to endorse Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers over fellow Democrat Abdul El-Sayed. Turkish, a disability rights lawyer and donor, made late-night calls to counter claims from former staffers and allies. Stevens' unexpected endorsement of Rogers, a Republican, after initially promising support for El-Sayed, has sparked a political controversy just before the midterm elections. Turkish had previously endorsed Rogers due to concerns about El-Sayed's stance on Israel and the Gaza conflict.
