She has called for the abolition of Immigration and Customs Enforcement while suggesting illegal immigration shouldn\u2019t be prevented. During a primary debate, she stood by her decision to attend a pro-Palestinian rally the day after the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks on Israel. And in a recent interview, she wouldn\u2019t say whether someone convicted of murder should be incarcerated,\u201d reported the Wall Street Journal.<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n GoLocal reached out to Morales’ campaign and to him directly.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Morales is refusing to answer questions as to whether he agrees with Chevalier\u2019s views.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n GoLocalProv News Team<\/p>\n The GoLocal news team has written more than 80,000 stories over the past 15 years.
