2010 Mid-Term Election Outcomes
First and foremost, we'd like to thank you for all of your hard work and dedication protecting reproductive health care during the last year and especially leading up to the November Mid-Term Election. We've relied on you time and time again to help us defeat dangerous anti-choice candidates running for office – like State House candidates Robert Ciervo (Bucks County) and Gerry Vaerwyck (Allegheny County) – and we succeeded. We also protected 42 of our pro-choice endorsed candidates and ushered in 4 new pro-choice legislators. We could not have won these victories without you. Thank you for spreading the word about where candidates stand, for helping fund our work on the ground and for casting your vote for women's health on November 2nd.
Here are the Election Outcomes for our pro-choice endorsed candidates:
