Election Day:
Tues. Nov. 3, 2020
There’s a lot going on in 2020 — if you’re looking to channel your energy in an powerful way to protect our reproductive health and rights, we have a plan for you!
To flip the Senate, we need to net four new seats this election year.
The top five most vulnerable incumbents, who have consistently voted against our reproductive health and rights, are all down in the polls. Four of them rank among the most unpopular Senators in the country.
Reproductive health care is popular. Voting against it is not. We can flip these seats.
We’re also looking at other seats across the country where people are fed up with regressive, anti-health care politicians who don’t represent them. Together, we can turn the Senate pink!

Reproductive health and rights are on the line this election. Join Action Fund members to show up online and volunteer for our reproductive health champions!
So far this election cycle, we’ve endorsed well over 200 candidates — and we’ll continue to endorse and invest in federal candidates across the country, including in key battlegrounds like Iowa, Colorado, North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Alaska, Montana, Texas, and Kentucky in the coming months.
* Please note that most of the "Champions to Re-Elect" are incumbent Senators with 100% scores on PPAF's scorecard. One exception is longtime champion Congressman Ben Ray Luján (NM-03), who is running for NM's open U.S Senate seat, vacated by fellow reproductive health champion Senator Tom Udall.

We have seen unprecedented attacks on sexual and reproductive health and rights from the administration and the
Republican controlled Senate. From protecting abortion access to funding reproductive health programs, the Senate makes critical decisions that directly impact Planned Parenthood health center patients every day.
If you care about having a Senate that protects our health and rights, then join us in our efforts to turn the Senate pink in 2020.
Only the Senate confirms appointees to both the judicial and executive branches. That's a big deal.
With the Republican majority’s rubber stamp at the ready, the Trump-Pence administration has been working to reshape the landscape of federal judges at an alarming rate. Aside from naming and confirming two Supreme Court justices, one in four federal appellate judges (the next level of seniority) have been named by the administration and confirmed by Senate Republican leadership.
Every day, these and other federal judges are ruling on important cases that cover a range of topics, including whether to uphold the Affordable Care Act (ACA), protecting civil and human rights and, of course, the constitutional right to abortion access.
Most of Trump's nominees are extremely conservative, and many hold views that are hostile to reproductive health and rights. Their rulings will impact generations to come. We need a Senate that will confirm judges that vote in the interests of our health and rights instead.
The Senate majority leader has more power than any other senator. In 2019 alone, the House passed over 275 bills — on topics ranging from gun control to climate change to raising the minimum wage — that the Senate refuses to consider due to the procedural power the office of Senate majority leader wields.
Need an example? Look no further than the debate over Title X;
Senate Republican leadership cancelled a committee markup of a spending bill rather than take a vote in support of birth control.
Republican leadership similarly blocked the Senate from even debating President Obama’s 2016 Supreme Court pick, while confirming that they would be sure to seat a Trump pick in 2020 if there were a similar vacancy.
Together, we will break up the current Republican Senate majority so we can protect and expand access to reproductive health care, alongside a broad swath of other crucial progressive issues.
