A Republican candidate for state senate is launching a campaign to bar biological males who identify as transgender from competing against females in athletics — and other GOP hopefuls are expected to jump on the bandwagon, too.

Arena is facing off in a rematch against Democratic incumbent Sen. Peter Harckham in the district that takes in Westchester, Rockland and Putnam counties. She garnered 47% of the vote against Harckham two years ago in a close contest. “Sixty-six percent of New Yorkers recently surveyed said they want girls sports left alone, but radical progressives, like my opponent State Senator Pete Harkham, think they know better than the rest of us.”

More GOP candidates will pounce on the trans sports ban as an issue, said former Repubilcan Congressman John Faso, an adviser to state GOP Chairman Ed Cox. “New Yorkers will see through these blatant lies, and we will win in November. No matter how many billboards anti-abortion extremists buy, New Yorkers know the truth: Prop 1 protects our fundamental rights and freedoms — including abortion,” the group has said.
