NARAL Pro-Choice America congratulates Tom Malinowski in his election to Congress to represent New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District. NARAL members threw their support behind Malinowski and couldn’t be more excited to celebrate tonight’s win.
“Tonight’s win shows that when candidates stand up for women and our essential rights—including the right to access abortion—they win,” said NARAL Pro-Choice America President Ilyse Hogue. “NARAL members mobilized behind Tom Malinowski because he made it clear that reproductive freedom is not up for debate. The majority of New Jerseyans support abortion access, and New Jersey families are lucky to have Tom’s strong voice representing them. Tom is committed to fighting for the rights of women, families, and all Americans, and we couldn’t be more proud to have an advocate like him in Congress.”
NARAL members made over 1.1 million calls to voters in phone banks all across the country, knocked on nearly 350,000 doors, sent almost 2 million pieces of mail, made more than 343,000 text messages, and held postcard parties, debate watch parties, and rallies in dozens of states. NARAL members vote at a rate of 90 percent, so much of NARAL’s $5 million election program focused on not only mobilizing our members but expanding the number of pro-choice voters. NARAL’s “Pro-Choice Majority Makers” program included TV and digital advertising, direct mail, and a campaign to educate and engage suburban women voters across the country to help them understand what’s at stake if abortion is criminalized by anti-choice politicians.

NARAL Pro-Choice America and its network of state affiliates are dedicated to protecting and expanding reproductive freedom for all Americans. NARAL works to guarantee that every woman has the right to make personal decisions regarding the full range of reproductive choices, including preventing unintended pregnancy, bearing healthy children, and choosing legal abortion. In recognition of its work defending our constitutional right to choose, Fortune Magazine described NARAL as “one of the top 10 advocacy groups in America.”
