Arkansas — Today, NARAL-endorsed candidate Joyce Elliott lost her bid for election to the U.S. House of Representatives in Arkansas’ 2nd Congressional District.
NARAL Pro-Choice America President Ilyse Hogue released the following statement in response:
“Though we’re disappointed in today’s results, NARAL Pro-Choice America is proud to have backed Joyce Elliott in her bid for election to the U.S. House of Representatives in Arkansas’ 2nd Congressional District. Over the course of this race, Elliott recognized exactly what was at stake for women and families when it comes to reproductive freedom, and she vocally championed our fundamental rights. Make no mistake: Though this race may be over, NARAL will never stop fighting to defeat anti-choice, anti-freedom politicians like Rep. French Hill. We will be watching Rep. Hill, and will continue to hold him accountable for his out-of-touch agenda.”
Anti-choice, anti-freedom Republican Rep. French Hill has consistently earned a 0% score from NARAL in the Congressional Record on Choice.
In the 2020 election cycle, NARAL Pro-Choice America ran its largest-ever electoral program designed to reach, persuade, and mobilize key voters in target states across the country who are motivated by Trump and Republicans’ unyielding attacks on reproductive freedom.
