“The states are on their own to determine abortion rights, and we know the full spectrum of sexual and reproductive health care is the next line of attack in this Supreme Court,” said Adam Hosey, PAC Director. “Voters need to know where candidates stand on their most basic rights, and that’s what our endorsement process is about. We asked these candidates explicitly where they stand on the issue of abortion access, comprehensive sex education, universal contraceptive care, healthcare for our LGBTQ+ neighbors, and more. These issues are top of mind for voters, and they’re voting accordingly.”

Ninety-nine percent of Planned Parenthood endorsed candidates won in the primary this year. These are the candidates Planned Parenthood endorsed in its first pre-primary round, organized here by region:
