Wade. “This is another shameless lie by Fox News and Washington Republicans,” said Zoë Wilson-Meyer, communications director for Wallace for Congress. “Scott Wallace has three kids, including two daughters, and his foundation has focused on empowering women, so women can make their own choices about their families and their reproductive rights.”
