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.
