I don’t think that I’ve ever seen a Republican cross-endorsed by Working Families. You’re right about the Liberal Party, though; they often endorsed RINOs such as Jacob Javits (his retention of the Liberal Party line in the 1980 general helped D’Amato beat Holtzman), Sherry Boehlert (who represented the same area as Hanna and may have been even more pro-abortion than him, if that’s possible) and Bill Green. Likewise, the Conservative Party used to cross-endorse pro-life Democrats from liberal districts, such as Albany’s Michael McNulty and (IIRC) Buffalo’s John LaFalce.

“I don’t think that I’ve ever seen a Republican cross-endorsed by Working Families.”

I can think of one. Uber-RINO Dede Scozzafava won its endorsements in her state Assembly campaigns. I don’t remember if she won it when she ran for Congress.

“I think people are dissatisfied with the Malloy administration,” Zawistowski told reporters, referring to the liberal agenda of Democratic governor Dannel Malloy. She said the issues that found resonance in her campaign were scaling back gas taxes, reinstating the sales-tax exemption on clothing and over-the-counter, nonprescription medication, as well as ending the $250 annual business-entity tax.
