Rep. John Katko is facing a serious threat to his political future after Onondaga County Conservative Party members decided they will no longer support the four-term Republican.
The party committee said it won’t endorse Katko next year because of his January vote to impeach Donald Trump and other recent votes supporting measures opposed by conservatives.
“While we believe he is acting in what he feels best represents the needs and wants of his constituents, it is clear that he no longer accepts or supports the values we hold dear,” the Onondaga County Conservative Party said in a statement.
After breaking with his party to impeach former President Donald Trump, U.S. Rep. John Katko received assistance from other Republicans who also supported Trump s impeachment.Â
Katko s April quarterly filing shows he received $20,000 from campaigns and political action committees affiliated with five House Republicans and a U.S. senator who either voted to impeach or convict the former president for inciting the Capitol insurrection that occurred on Jan. 6.
The largest donation was $10,000 from the Future First Leadership PAC formed by U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, an Illinois Republican. U.S. Rep. Tom Rice s Republicans in Congress Empowering America PAC contributed $3,500 and U.S. Rep. Fred Upton s TRUST PAC gave $2,000. New Energy in Washington PAC, which was formed by U.S. Rep. Dan Newhouse, and U.S. Rep. David Valadao s Vitoria PAC each donated $1,000.Â
