While working in the Senate for over a decade, Sen. Bill Nelson (D) has repeatedly fought to protect health care in the Sunshine State. Nelson has a long record of fighting against measures to “defund” Planned Parenthood, standing up for protections for people with pre-existing conditions, and supporting measures to help families with low incomes afford health care. In fact, he has a 100 percent perfect score on the Planned Parenthood Action Fund Congressional Scorecard.
