Riordan also tried to stand apart from the others as the only pro- choice candidate. “There’s no way a republican can win in this state by telling women ‘You’re not welcome in the Republican Party,’” he said. “I strongly dislike abortion but we have to respect people’s differences and their choices.” During and after the debate, Jones took opportunities to remind voters that he is the author of the three- Raytheon strikes law.
