WASHINGTON, D.C. — Hoy, la senadora estatal Jennifer McClellan, candidata respaldada por Planned Parenthood Action Fund, ganó las elecciones especiales para el 4.° Distrito Congresional de Virginia, convirtiéndose en la primera mujer negra en representar a Virginia en el Congreso de los Estados Unidos.

La presidenta de Planned Parenthood Action Fund, Alexis McGill Johnson, emitió la siguiente declaración para celebrar:

“Esta noche celebramos esta elección histórica de Jennifer McClellan, una defensora de la atención de la salud sexual y reproductiva, y la primera mujer negra en representar a Virginia en el Congreso. Jennifer ha dedicado su vida a servir a su comunidad y anticipamos con entusiasmo todo lo que logrará en la Cámara de Representantes. Esta victoria es otro triunfo para proteger el acceso al aborto, y otro recordatorio más de que los votantes quieren que sus funcionarios electos protejan los derechos reproductivos”.
