Statement from Mike Erickson regarding Kevin Mannix's allegations
03:53 PM PDT on Tuesday, May 13, 2008
On Tuesday, Oregon congressional candidate Kevin Mannix accused his opponent, Mike Erickson, of impregnating a young woman in 2000, then dropping her off at a clinic to have an abortion.
Erickson released the following the statement in response:
“Kevin Mannix’s smear tactics are the last gasps of a desperate candidate who is sinking under the weight of his long record of raising taxes. Time has run out on Mannix running for office with nothing but lies and deception. All the voters know about Mannix is his dirty politics and shady financing.
Mannix does not have any other message for voters except his politics of personal destruction. Mannix is desperate to hide his 83 votes for higher taxes. Mannix would rather use smear tactics than admit he has supported over $3 billion in tax hikes.
Is that the character of a person you would like in Congress? Deception, deceit, accusations, and higher taxes?”
