John,
You already know that Pennsylvania is a must-win state in the presidential election—but we’re also hard at work on other critical races in the state, because abortion rights are so often won or lost at the state level.
We have a chance to win back pro-choice legislative control in Pennsylvania by defending the majority in the state house and flipping just three state senate seats. These will be tough, tight races, but we know that our candidates are up for the task. We’re supporting candidates like:
-
Angela Girol for Pennsylvania HD-39, whose opponent has the highest rating possible from one of Pennsylvania’s anti-abortion organizations
-
La'Tasha D. Mayes for reelection in Pennsylvania HD-24, who has brought her decades of experience organizing for reproductive rights to the legislature after becoming the first woman to ever represent her district
-
Nicole Ruscitto for Pennsylvania SD-37, whose race has been deemed a ‘must-win’ in order for Democrats to gain control of the upper legislative chamber
We’re supporting pro-choice candidates like these all over the country, and you can find candidates near you on our website.
Every single state presents opportunities to build pro-choice political power, which is why it’s so vital to vote all the way down the ballot. It’s not just the White House at stake; it’s legislative chambers, court houses, and criminal legal offices across the country.
If you haven’t already, could you take a moment now and commit to casting a vote in every race and measure on your ballot?
Thank you for your ongoing commitment to this work—it will take all of us, but we believe that victories up and down the ballot are possible in November!
Best,
Carly LeQuire
Chief Program Officer
