Several weeks ago DisabilityNation featured an interview with Democratic Senate candidate Steve Novick of Oregon. This Tuesday is the Democratic primary in that state. The Associated Press featured an article today focusing on Novick and other candidates. Unfortunately, rather than focusing on the issues brought to light by Steve, the AP chose to dwell on advertisements that joke about Steve and his disability.

From the article; Democrats think they have a chance this year to unseat the sole GOP senator on the West Coast. But first voters have to choose a challenger: the state House speaker or an activist who spoofs the fact that he has a metal hook for a hand.
