In a statement to Fox News Digital, Mills campaign spokesman Chris Danna referred to Mills’ opponent, Pat Harrigan. “It’s disgusting that Pathway’s Pat Harrigan is attacking Gray’s family and his desire to be a part of his child’s education. Anyone who knew Gray knew that this meant that illegal immigrants had no right to citizenship. I know this is a ridiculous attack from individuals who believe they deserve a path.”
“Gray’s conservative history in the state Legislature, protecting girls’ sports, defending parents’ rights, and banning indoctrination speaks for itself. “It’s a light blow if the campaign ends up being a huge failure, like Pat Harrigan,” he added.
