Another day in New York State politics...

Assembly candidate says anonymous mailers are ‘dirty politics’

HEMPSTEAD - Taylor Raynor, an Assembly candidate from Nassau who is challenging 30-year incumbent Earlene Hooper in the Democratic primary, says a political mailer that targets her is “dirty politics.”

The letter contains various spelling and grammatical errors, but its author does not mince words. It reads in part, “Taylor Rayner is NOT a Democrat and only pretends to be one for this race."

It goes on to call Raynor a "loose jezebel that has two kids and no husband." It ends by telling voters to "vote against fake Democrat and fake Christian Rayner. Jesus sees your vote."

“I thought that children and families were off limits in politics, but I learned that a lot of things happen in politics,” Raynor told News 12.
