Planned Parenthood Votes Nevada Announces First Wave of 2020 Endorsements
For Immediate Release: April 30, 2020
Over 30 State and Local Candidates Endorsed for 2020 Election Cycle
RENO, NEVADA – Planned Parenthood Votes Nevada has announced its 2020 election endorsements in Nevada state races. In 2019, the Nevada Legislature increased funding for the state family planning grant program, and Nevada’s progress in reproductive health care access and abortion rights was achieved in large part to the election of reproductive health care champions at all levels of state and federal government. Planned Parenthood Votes Nevada advocates on behalf of the thousands of Nevadans who depend on access to affordable, high-quality reproductive health care.
Statement from Lindsey Harmon, Executive Director, Planned Parenthood Votes Nevada:
"Access to essential reproductive health care, especially as we work to mitigate the COVID19 pandemic, is vital to protecting the health and well-being of Nevadans. That’s why it’s especially important that we elect a slate of candidates who are willing to stand up for our rights and access to reproductive health care, including abortion.
We don’t just need candidates who will defend against these relentless attacks --- we need champions who will fight to move us forward. We are delighted to be supporting a solid slate of candidates up and down the ticket for the 2020 Elections.”
