Reproductive Freedom for All Celebrates Strong Majorities in California Legislative Races

Sacramento, CA — Reproductive Freedom for All celebrated key California State Senate and Assembly races where our endorsed candidates won, marking another important step toward strengthening reproductive freedom protections across the state.

As the Trump administration and its allies continue efforts to restrict abortion access nationwide, these victories reinforce California’s role as a national leader in protecting reproductive freedom and ensuring people can make their own decisions about their bodies, healthcare, and futures.

Reproductive Freedom for All Senior Director of California Campaigns Kristin Slevin released the following statement:

“California voters have once again made clear that reproductive freedom matters. By electing leaders who are committed to protecting abortion access and defending our fundamental rights, Californians are sending a powerful message that they will not back down in the face of continued attacks on reproductive health care. We are proud to celebrate these victories and look forward to working alongside these champions to ensure California remains a safe haven for reproductive freedom.”

Reproductive Freedom for All celebrates the following endorsed candidates in California’s 2026 legislative elections:

  • Melissa Hurtado, SD-16

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.

As the next legislative session approaches, Reproductive Freedom for All remains committed to working with elected leaders to protect and expand access to reproductive health care and ensure California continues to lead the fight for reproductive freedom.
