Meet our Planned Parenthood Champions!
A Planned Parenthood Champion is an elected official who is 100 percent committed to protecting reproductive rights, including access to abortion. We know we can count on these officials to stand up and fight for Planned Parenthood patients and health centers in the Texas Legislature.
See our full list of Champions here.
