(I posted this mainly because I'm sick and tired of being bombarded with TV commercials of Daryl Parks lying his ass off about Simon's abortion vote.)
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – “Democrats across the nation are following the lead of Kamala Harris, and they’re basically just running on a campaign of lies,” Florida’s Voice Founder and CEO Leslie said on Florida’s Voice The Podcast with Drew Steele. “It’s happening here in Florida in one of the most important races, which is for Senate District 3.”
During a debate this week between state Sen. Corey Simon, R-Tallahassee, and Democratic opponent Daryl Parks, the challenger backtracked on previous lies against the Republican alleging he voted in favor of the six-week abortion ban.
The back-tracking comes after Parks had been spending millions of dollars in campaign ads that fear-mongered to voters by claiming Simon voted in favor of the ban – for which he did not.
“On the six-week abortion ban, what was my vote?” Simon asked Parks during the debate.
“You voted against it,” Parks responded. “You voted against it.”
The debate was moderated by POLITICO’s Gary Fineout, and hosted by the Capital Tiger Bay Club in Tallahassee.
The law is more commonly known as the Heartbeat Protection Act, and Parks made a similarly false claim in September.
In a video, Parks previously said Simon “passed the extreme, no exceptions abortion ban.”
On top of not voting in favor of the six-week ban, Simon was not in office yet for the previously-approved abortion law in 2022.
Simon represents District 3 in the northern portion of Florida around Tallahassee, spanning from Gulf and Gadsden County to Hamilton and Dixie County.
He was elected in November 2022.
