PLANNED PARENTHOOD PA PAC ENDORSES IN ALLEGHENY CO SPECIAL ELECTION AND BUCKS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS RACE
For Immediate Release: Sept. 6, 2023 (Updated: Sept. 6, 2023, 3:06 p.m.)
(Harrisburg, Pa.) --- Planned Parenthood PA PAC endorsed in the special election to replace PA Representative Sara Innamorato in Allegheny County, and in the general election for Bucks County Commissioners.
“Sexual and reproductive health is always on the ballot; our rights are debated again and again at every level of government, and Planned Parenthood PA PAC will only ever issue endorsements to candidates who are firm in their support of your freedom to make your own health care decisions,” said PAC Director Signe Espinoza. “The pro-sexual and reproductive health care majority in the State House hinges on a special election yet again, and we are confident in our endorsement of Lindsey Powell to hold that seat and fight for our rights in the legislature.
“In Bucks County, we have been watching the county commissioners race devolve into a culture war between extremists who want to strip away your right to privately seek health care, to love who you love, and to send your children to a school where they won’t be bullied for who they are. We are endorsing Diane Marseglia and Bob Harvie in this race because they’ve been strong and outspoken in their support of the full spectrum of sexual and reproductive health care – leading Bucks County to be one of the few local governments in the country to file an amicus brief to protect access to medication abortion when an extremist judge in Texas tried to rule it out,” Espinoza continued.
The House contest will be held on September 19.
The General Election will be held Tuesday, November 7.
The deadline to register to vote before the General is October 23, and mail or absentee ballots must be requested by October 31. Those ballots must be returned by 8pm on Election Day.
