Actress Lynda Carter threw family loyalty to the wind as she turned her back on her sister who is running in the Arizona state representative race.
The star of the “Wonder Woman” series from the 1970s decided it was not enough to quietly decline to support her own sister, Pamela Carter, in the race or even to say nothing at all. Carter publicly announced her endorsement of her sister’s two Democratic opponents in the run for Arizona’s Legislative District 4.
Pamela Carter, a Republican who is running for the seat along with GOP candidate Matt Gress, served in the 2020 election as a state director for the Trump campaign.
“As a native Arizonan, I am proud to endorse @KelliButlerAZ and @KarenGreshamAZ for the two LD4 seats in Arizona’s State House,” the 73-year-old actress wrote on X earlier this month.
“Kelli and Karen are both strong, experienced candidates, born and raised in Arizona,” she wrote, referring to Democrats Karen Gresham and Kelli Butler.”They are working mothers fighting for the rights that matter most to Arizonans, especially every child’s right to a quality education.”

Pamela Carter is standing on secure borders, strong schools, and strong families.
The 75-year-old’s website says she is a “fourth-generation Arizonan” who once ran a successful sports medicine and weight training facility.
“My liberal Democrat opponents champion Joe Biden’s open border policies, but this is a critical issue that should not be corrupted by their partisan politics,” she said, according to her website.
“Our open borders are allowing human trafficking, drugs (including fentanyl), gangs, drugs, and violence to pour across our border, in record-setting quantities. This puts us all at risk, just because politicians are too busy fighting each other to fight for us. I believe we should secure the border, enforce Arizona’s laws, and stop the flow of drugs, crime, and violence,” Carter said. “Legal immigration has long been a source of strength for America and deserves its own updating, but nothing meaningful will succeed until illegal immigration is largely ended.”

Meanwhile, her sister’s snub got the applause she was likely happy about from the left.
I have so much respect for you and this post. Right is right, regardless of family. Thank you for that!!!

Many other social media users were not impressed with the family split.
No strong, confident, independent woman publicly trashes her family. I support Pamela!

Why does it make me want to vote for Pamela even more now

Most of us don’t care what Hollywood wants us to do! Hello? Duh. I know Pam. Funny that she feels no need to “name drop” her sister.

Lynda Carter is campaigning for her sister Patricia’s opponents because Patricia is running on a pro-life platform.
And while Patricia is being an adult about it, my respect for Lynda keeps plummeting.

Lynda Carter just endorsed her sister (@pamelacarter888)’s Democrat opponent. You can have a different political opinion than family, but what sort of used douchebag publicly endorses one’s own sister’s opponent? I’ve lost my respect for the original Wonder Woman. #Shame
