Reproductive Freedom for All Endorses Slate of Candidates for Key California Primary Races
Washington, DC — Today, Reproductive Freedom for All announced its endorsement of four reproductive freedom champions for key California offices ahead of the state’s primary elections on June 2. California is a beacon of protection for abortion and health care access, and ensuring these candidates advance to midterm elections in November is critical as Trump and his allies continue their deadly attacks on health care and reproductive freedom in all 50 states.
Reproductive Freedom for All is proud to endorse the following candidates for election in California:
● Rob Bonta (Attorney General)
● Eleni Kounalakis (Treasurer)
● Caroline Menjivar (SD-20)
● Deborah Klein Lopez (AD-42)
Reproductive Freedom for All President and CEO Mini Timmaraju released the following statement:
“These candidates are the bold champions we expect from a state that has long been a leader in protecting reproductive freedom. While Trump and his anti-abortion allies work to push care out of reach, Rob Bonta, Eleni Kounalakis, Caroline Menjivar, and Deborah Klein Lopez are committed to protecting Californians’ fundamental freedoms. Health care, fair elections, and abortion access are on the line this year, and making sure these candidates advance to November is critical to defending our rights and our futures.”
Reproductive Freedom for All Senior Director of California Campaigns Kristin Slevin released the following statement:
“Californians built incredible momentum by approving Prop 50 last year, and our members in California are ready to harness that momentum and elect leaders who understand what is at stake and will fight for reproductive freedom and fair elections. These four candidates have proven time and again that they’ll put Californians first, and our members are ready to help them secure a spot on the November ballot.”
