“Since taking office, the Trump-Pence administration has launched dangerous political attacks on the health and wellbeing of every person in this country. But these same attacks have also spurred a groundswell of opposition from people who are fighting for a world where everyone has the freedom and opportunity to control their own lives. Now, we’re taking that fight to the ballot box,” said Tricia Wajda, PPAF’s vice president of external affairs. “Each of these candidates will advocate for their communities and defend against any attempt to restrict reproductive rights. We need these candidates to join the strong majority of Planned Parenthood champions already on Beacon Hill to help Massachusetts blaze a trail to a healthier future for all.”
