Lynda Carter, the original Wonder Woman actor, denounced her sister’s campaign for an Arizona House seat, telling Mother Jones on Friday that she would not endorse her for any elected post.
The actor’s statement was included as part of a Mother Jones exposé on her sister, Pamela Carter, the far-right Republican who is running to represent part of Maricopa County in the Arizona House of Representatives.
“On her websitePam claims she has her “family’s full support”, Lynda Carter told Mother Jones. “I have known Pam all my life, which is why I unfortunately cannot support her for this or any other public office.”
Pamela Carter did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment. Her platform includes to be opposed to same-sex marriage, abortion in almost all cases and transgender inclusion in sports. She supports arming teachers.
Lynda Carter, a vocal supporter of reproductive rights, also offered her support to the Democrats running against her sister in Arizona’s Legislative District 4.
“As a native Arizonan, I am proud to support Kelli Butler and Karen Gresham to represent LD4 in the Arizona State House,” she told Mother Jones. “Kelli and Karen are both strong, experienced candidates, born and raised in Arizona. They are working mothers who fight for the rights that matter most to Arizonans, especially every child’s right to a quality education.”
The district has two representatives, currently one Democrat and one Republican.
Lynda Carter also praised U.S. Sen. John McCain, the late Arizona Republican, for his commitment to “decency, justice and freedom.”
