Lynda Carter snubs sister, backs Democratic candidates in state race


Lynda Carter, the actress best known for playing Wonder Woman in the 1970s, slighted her conservative sister last weekend by endorsing her opponents in a race for Arizona state representative.

Pamela Carter, who served as state director for Trump’s 2020 campaign, is currently running for Arizona’s Legislative District 4. Carter is running as a Republican, alongside fellow conservative candidate Matt Gress.

Rather than supporting his sister or remaining silent, Carter chose to publicly announce his support for the two Democratic opponents, Karen Gresham and Kelli Butler.

“As a native of Arizona, I am proud to support @KelliButlerAZ and “@KarenGreshamAZ for the two LD4 seats in the Arizona State House of Representatives,” Carter wrote on X on Sept. 14. “Kelli and Karen are strong, experienced candidates, born and raised in Arizona.”

“They are working mothers fighting for the rights that matter most to Arizonans, especially the right of every child to a quality education,” she added.

The 73-year-old actress has a history of endorsing Democratic candidates, including former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2016 and President Biden in 2020.

Pamela Carter's platform claims she is committed to fighting inflation, supporting law enforcement and securing the southern border. The Republican campaign website accused her Democratic opponents of “defending[ing] Joe Biden's open border policies, but this is a critical issue that should not be corrupted by his partisan politics.

“Our open borders are allowing human trafficking, drugs (including fentanyl), gangs, drugs, and violence to cross our border in record numbers,” their website reads. “This puts us all at risk, simply because politicians are too busy fighting each other to fight for us.”

“I believe we must secure the border, enforce Arizona's laws and stop the flow of drugs, crime and violence,” the Republican added. “Legal immigration has long been a source of strength for America and deserves its own update, but nothing meaningful will succeed until illegal immigration is largely stopped.”

Two days after endorsing Democratic candidates, Carter endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming U.S. presidential election.

“I'm going to vote for “@KamalaHarris because she has a proven track record of improving the lives of everyday Americans,” the actress wrote on Sept. 16. “A 'concept of an idea' won't protect your grandparents' retirement savings. Her policies already do that.”

Fox News Digital reached out to the Carter campaign for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
