Endorsement Event By Nation’s Leading Pro-Choice Advocacy Group Builds Momentum for Key Campaigns Up-and-Down the Ballot in PA
NARAL Pro-Choice America today announced its endorsement of Steve Santarsiero in his campaign for Congress (PA-08). NARAL also announced details of a rally this Saturday in Langhorne, PA, to bring pro-choice voters together to support Steve’s candidacy. Event details are below.
“NARAL is proud to endorse Steve Santarsiero for Congress because he will be the leader we need to defend Americans’ reproductive freedom, including access to safe and legal abortion,” said Ilyse Hogue, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America. “Steve is a fighter who will get things done for Pennsylvania. Hardworking families across the state want leaders who will fight to create jobs and grow the economy, not spend their time trying to ban abortion and make birth control more expensive. Those aren’t the priorities of Pennsylvanians, but that’s exactly what Steve’s opponent would do if elected. That’s why NARAL is standing with Steve Santarsiero in his campaign for Congress.”
