Reproductive Freedom for All Endorses Eugene DePasquale for Pennsylvania Attorney General

Washington, DC Today, Reproductive Freedom for All announced its endorsement of Eugene DePasquale for Pennsylvania attorney general. DePasquale has served as the state’s Auditor General for nearly eight years during Gov. Tom Wolf’s administration. A state’s attorney general plays a critical role in the states they represent, including serving as the top legal and law enforcement officer, representing the state in lawsuits, and issuing legal advice to state agencies. Electing reproductive freedom candidates like DePasquale for these seats is pivotal as we work to safeguard Pennsylvanians’ ability to make their own decisions about their lives, bodies, and future.

Reproductive Freedom for All President and CEO Mini Timmaraju released the following statement:

“Protecting abortion rights and access amid attacks from GOP extremists is crucial for Pennsylvania, and electing Eugene DePasquale as attorney general is vital to preserving that freedom. As a champion of reproductive freedom, DePasquale will be an unwavering defender of all Pennsylvanians’ right to make their own decisions about pregnancy and abortion without political interference. We’re proud to endorse him in this race and ready to mobilize our members to elect him this November.”

Eugene DePasquale released the following statement:

“I am so honored to have the backing of Reproductive Freedom for All, an organization that I deeply admire, in this crucial fight. Protecting reproductive rights demands that we all join forces. Unlike my opponent, I vow as your future attorney general to use every means at my disposal to protect reproductive rights against any threat. Together, we can forge a future where these liberties are preserved.”

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.
