Reproductive Freedom for All Celebrates Statewide Victories for Reproductive Freedom Champions in California
Sacramento, CA — California voters elected Reproductive Freedom for All-endorsed candidates to seven statewide offices alongside electing Xavier Becerra as the next governor, choosing leaders who will help protect the state’s commitment to reproductive freedom.
The winning candidates are:
- Fiona Ma, Lieutenant Governor
- Shirley Weber, Secretary of State
- Rob Bonta, Attorney General
- Eleni Kounalakis, Treasurer
- Malia Cohen, Controller
- Jane Kim, Insurance Commissioner
- Richard Barrera, Superintendent of Public Instruction
Reproductive Freedom for All President and CEO Mini Timmaraju released the following statement:
“These wins are a victory for reproductive freedom and the patients and providers counting on California to protect their rights. As anti-abortion extremists try to criminalize abortion across state lines, they will hold the line and keep California a firewall against these attacks.”
Reproductive Freedom for All Senior Director of California Campaigns Kristin Slevin released the following statement:
“California voters chose champions across state government because protecting reproductive freedom takes more than any one office. Our more than 484,000 members helped elect this slate, and together we will keep turning California’s strong protections into real, affordable access for patients in every community.”
These offices carry distinct responsibilities in protecting Californians’ rights and access to care. Attorney General Bonta will continue using the attorney general’s office to enforce California’s protections for patients and providers, defend the state against federal attacks, and confront efforts by anti-abortion states to punish people for care that is legal in California. The other members of the slate will bring their commitment to reproductive freedom to our executive, fiscal, elections, and education leadership.
With Xavier Becerra as governor, these statewide leaders will work together to defend California’s protections, expand access to care, and keep the state a safe haven for patients and providers nationwide.
Reproductive Freedom for All endorsed these candidates as part of the organization’s historic My Body. My Ballot. midterm program, a $23.5 million campaign to mobilize voters, hold anti-abortion politicians accountable, and elect reproductive freedom champions in key races across the country. Reproductive Freedom for All mobilized its more than 484,000 California members to help elect reproductive freedom champions across the state.
