Governor Sisolak Boldly Defends Abortion rights at Gubernatorial Townhall

For Immediate Release: Oct. 4, 2022


Nevadans deserve a governor who will boldly defend abortion rights and access      

Las Vegas, NV — Yesterday, incumbent Gov. Steve Sisolak (D) and gubernatorial candidate Joe Lombardo (R) addressed key issues for voters at Townhall hosted by the Nevada Independent, among them was the issue of protections for abortion in Nevada after the fall of Roe v. Wade. The event was broadcasted this evening on network television for all Nevadans to see.  

Statement from Lindsey Harmon, Executive Director, Planned Parenthood Votes Nevada:

“The choice for Nevada’s voters this fall is clear. In tonight’s townhall, Gov. Steve Sisolak not only demonstrated empathy for abortion patients and providers in other states who are now seeking and providing care in Nevada, but also showed forward-thinking leadership and dedication to protecting Nevada’s reproductive freedoms long-term. 

Joe Lombardo on the other hand, showed his ignorance around reproductive health care and Nevada abortion laws, and apathy towards the reality for abortion patients across the country in a post-Roe world. That is not what Nevadans need in a governor. We need a proven leader who we can trust to defend the reproductive freedoms of Nevadans with compassion and grit — not another anti-abortion politician pretending to care about abortion rights to score points in an election only to turn around and legislate according to his personal beliefs once in office. This November, voters will re-elect Gov. Sisolak to protect our rights.”
