Reproductive Freedom for All Celebrates as Michelle Vallejo Secures Democratic Nomination in TX-15
Washington, DC — Today, Reproductive Freedom for All-endorsed candidate for Texas’s 15th Congressional District, Michelle Vallejo, secured the Democratic nomination in her race to defeat anti-abortion Republican Rep. Monica De La Cruz. De La Cruz scored 0% on Reproductive Freedom for All’s 2023 congressional scorecard. This race is a targeted flip seat for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and could help determine the majority in the U.S. House.
Reproductive Freedom for All President and CEO Mini Timmaraju released the following statement:
“Texans are living under one of the strictest abortion bans in the country, and they need Michelle Vallejo, a reproductive freedom champion who will fight for them. We’re thrilled that she is one step closer to giving Texans the representation they deserve.”
Reproductive Freedom for All is already on the ground in states across the country as part of its largest-ever electoral program, working to ensure reproductive freedom champions are elected from statehouses to the White House and that we protect and expand abortion rights and access through ballot measures. Our 2024 program connects voters with opportunities to make immediate, tangible change to help build a future where everyone is free to make their own decisions about their bodies, lives, and families.
In November, on the heels of yet another resounding victory for abortion rights in elections across the country, Reproductive Freedom for All launched its “Vote for Repro Freedom” campaign. This digital and grassroots campaign will harness the momentum of big wins in Ohio, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Kentucky by encouraging voters to commit to voting in 2024 for reproductive freedom champions as the first step in mobilizing the 8 in 10 Americans who support legal abortion.
