Cuomo's mayoral campaign treasurer worked for NY anti-trans effort
Andrew Cuomo’s mayoral campaign treasurer worked for an effort that zeroed in on transgender children last year in an unsuccessful attempt to defeat an anti-discrimination ballot measure — rallying voters with the slogan “Save Girls’ sports.”
Before Cuomo launched his mayoral campaign, treasurer Kristofer Graham oversaw fundraising compliance for the Coalition to Protect Kids, which was dedicated to defeating Proposition One. Known by supporters as the Equal Rights Amendment, the ballot question passed last year, letting New York amend its state constitution to include non-discrimination protections aimed at enshrining abortion rights.
Opponents of the measure sought to turn the proposal into a referendum over whether transgender kids should be allowed to play on the sports teams that match their identities.
“Prop 1 will almost certainly end girls-only sports in this state, and it will significantly impinge on parental authority and religious freedoms,” the Coalition to Protect Kids warned at the time.
