Planned Parenthood Maine Action Fund PAC Announces 2020 Incumbent Legislative Endorsements

62 legislators seeking reelection have 100% voting records on sexual, reproductive health

Following the passage of six new laws protecting and expanding access to sexual and reproductive health care during the 2019 legislative session, the Planned Parenthood Maine Action Fund PAC announced its endorsement of 62 incumbent legislators seeking re-election.

“Sexual and reproductive health care is essential health care and thanks to the work of these legislators, more Mainers are able to get affordable care from trusted providers in their communities,” said Nicole Clegg, spokesperson for the Planned Parenthood Maine Action Fund PAC. “Make no mistake -- reproductive health and rights, including safe, legal abortion -- is on the ballot this year. If we’re going to protect our health and rights we have to elect true champions we can count on to continue prioritizing affordable health care for all.”

The PPMEAF PAC will make additional legislative endorsements in the coming weeks.
