John,

As president of EMILY’s List, the nation’s largest resource for electing Democratic pro-choice women, our mission is more important than ever now that five Supreme Court justices are taking direct aim at Roe.

There’s a lot of uncertainty as we wait for the final ruling, but there’s one thing that I’m certain of: Abortion is a fundamental right.

Another thing I’m sure of: We need strong advocates in Congress who will defend reproductive rights. Valerie Foushee has a long and distinguished history of standing up for reproductive rights in the general assembly and fighting for North Carolinians’ right to abortion care.

So, please, will you join me in supporting Valerie Foushee for Congress in the final days before the May 17 primary election? We need to elect every single reproductive rights champion that we can. There is too much at stake not to.

In solidarity,

Laphonza Butler
President | EMILY’s List
