Newport Beach, CA – Harley Rouda, candidate for Congress in California’s 48th District, is honored to announce that Planned Parenthood Action Fund has endorsed his campaign. Upon the endorsement, Mr. Rouda and Executive Vice President of Planned Parenthood Action Fund Dawn Laguens issued the following statements:
From Harley Rouda —
“I am deeply honored to receive Planned Parenthood Action Fund’s endorsement in my race to replace Republican Dana Rohrabacher in the U.S. Congress.”
“In the face of adversity and political attack – attacks which Rep. Rohrabacher is often a part of – Planned Parenthood health centers continue to provide essential health care services to women and men across California’s 48th district, and from coast to coast.”
“My wife Kaira and I have proudly supported Planned Parenthood over the years. As a Member of Congress, I will protect the organization’s ability to provide critical health care. I will fight for policies that support Planned Parenthood Action Fund’s core mission to protect women’s reproductive rights and to guarantee equal access to reproductive health care for everyone. I stand with Planned Parenthood, now and always.”
From Dawn Laguens —
“Planned Parenthood Action Fund is excited to endorse Harley Rouda to be the next Congressman for California’s 48th District. In this crucial House race, there is only one choice: a candidate who believes in protecting the reproductive rights of women; a leader who fights to guarantee the inalienable right of reproductive health care to each and every American. Harley is that candidate and leader.”
“Planned Parenthood Action Fund stands shoulder to shoulder with Harley’s campaign to unseat Dana Rohrabacher – an anti-women’s health politician whose policy positions on health care are dangerously outside the mainstream.”
