ALBANY – A political action committee created by an upstate investor and child sex abuse survivor has its first target – state Sen. Kemp Hannon.

Gary Greenberg said his Fighting for Children PAC is endorsing Democrat Ryan Cronin’s challenge to Hannon (R-Nassau County).

Greenberg said he chose to target Hannon first for his stated opposition to a bill to make it easier for child sex abuse victims to seek justice.

“It’s black and white; if you’re not going to support the bill, then you’re for the predators,” Greenberg said.

The PAC will donate a maximum $11,000 to Cronin’s campaign, recruit volunteers to help him, and organize protests in the district against Hannon’s opposition to the Child Victims Act.
