"Abbate spent 36 years representing the 49th District... losing the seat in a close contest to Republican newcomer Lester Chang in 2022; he was... booted from the party's primary in April."
"The flyers, which reportedly cost $7,000 from Abbate's extensive warchest, read, 'Who's Ruining Our Community?' and highlight Chang, along with Democratic assemblymembers Rodneyse Bichotte-Hermelyn and Bill Colton."
"Bichotte-Hermelyn fired back... 'Peter Abbate spent thousands of dollars attacking fellow Democrats;' the Democratic leader also insinuated Abbate could be misusing funds for personal expenses."
"I'm not attacking Democrats. I'm attacking people who are helping Republicans win. They are working against Democrats,' Abbate said."
