Original Wonder Woman actress Lynda Carter condemned her sister’s campaign for a competitive seat in the Arizona House of Representatives. On Friday, she told Mother Jones that she would not support her sister for any elected office.
The actor's statement was part of Mother Jones' exposé about her sister, Pamela Carter, the far-right Republican candidate representing part of Maricopa County in the Arizona House of Representatives.
“On her website, Pam claims to have ‘the full support of her family,’” Lynda Carter told Mother Jones. “I have known Pam my entire life, so I am unfortunately unable to endorse her for this or any other public office.”
Pamela Carter did not immediately respond to HuffPost's request for comment. Her platform includes opposing gay marriage, abortion in almost all cases and transgender inclusion in sports. She supports arming teachers.
Lynda Carter, an outspoken advocate for reproductive rights, also supported the Democrats running against her sister in Arizona's 4th District.
“As a born and raised Arizonan, I am proud to endorse 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 fighting 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. Senator John McCain, the late Republican from Arizona, for his dedication to “decency, justice and freedom.”
