The mailer labels Phillips' opponent, Republican Assemblyman John Lemondes, as "too extreme for central New York." It contains a few claims about Lemondes' positions on issues, including the 2020 election, banning books and legislation to ban the use of pesticides at children's camps.聽

'Pushing stolen election conspiracy theories'聽

Phillips, D-Auburn, accuses Lemondes, R-LaFayette, of "pushing half-baked conspiracy theories about stolen elections."聽

To back up this claim, Phillips' campaign provides a link to Lemondes' appearance in March on "Inside Government," a local TV show hosted by former Auburn Mayor Guy Cosentino.聽

Cosentino asked Lemondes a viewer question, "Do you think Joe Biden was legitimately elected as president in 2020?"

Lemondes responded, "I do not."聽

After Cosentino asked a follow-up question, Lemondes explained his position.聽

"The biggest thing for me, of all things, came well after the election," he said. "It came in Albany when we had a company, a bunch of consultants, come and show us how the voting process worked and how some of the machines could be manipulated."聽

Lemondes added later, "That was, for me, I had had a question mark because never before had I personally questioned the outcome of an election. Never. There was so much hype about this. I was, for whatever reason, I was. And then when I had this briefing in front of the machine with the experts several months ago, several years after the election, is when I said, 'Oh my God, this was possible.'"聽

It was not revealed who these purported experts were who gave a presentation about voting machines.

Banning books

Phillips also uses the mailer to claim that Lemondes is "promoting legislation that would ban books."聽

The mailer directs voters to introduced by former Assemblyman Colin Schmitt that would prohibit schools from teaching critical race theory in New York. Lemondes cosponsored the legislation, Assembly records show.聽

The Associated Press critical race theory as "a way of thinking about America's history through the lens of racism." Republicans and conservatives, like Lemondes, have criticized critical race theory because, as the AP reported, they "view the concepts underlying critical race theory as an effort to rewrite American history and convince white people that they are inherently racist and should feel guilty because of their advantages."聽

One concern about GOP efforts to ban critical race theory is that it would lead to book bans, especially efforts to ban books about race or books written by Black authors.

'Poisoning our playgrounds'聽

Phillips accuses Lemondes of "protecting corporate poison pushers who spread toxins on our kids' playgrounds."聽

The basis of the claim is Lemondes' vote on legislation to . The Assembly passed the bill 103-41 in February 2022. Lemondes voted against the bill.聽

According to the legislative memo, the bill was a chapter amendment to align the rules for camps with similar prohibitions in place for the use of pesticides at daycare centers and schools.聽

The legislation, which was signed into law, prohibits children's overnight and summer day caps, as well as sports camps, from "applying pesticides to any playground, athletic field, or playing field." The chapter amendment extended the prohibition to turf as "a surface where pesticide cannot be applied."聽

There are exceptions included in the bill. But a review of the floor debate transcript shows several Assembly Republicans expressed concerns about the bill, including how it would affect agricultural camps and programs.聽

The facts

Lemondes is on record saying he does not believe Biden was legitimately elected president, despite numerous court cases and reviews that found there was 聽in the 2020 election.聽

The critical race theory ban supported by Lemondes does not explicitly state it would ban books. But opponents of that legislation worry it would be a consequence of a prohibition on teaching critical race theory in schools.聽

Lemondes voted against a bill that prohibits the use of pesticides at children's camps. The bill amended earlier legislation to ban the use of pesticides at children's day and overnight camps. Lemondes also voted against that legislation.聽
