Because of You
On behalf of WCLA-PAC, Choice Matters and pro-choice voters everywhere, I thank you for the important role you played in our success in getting out the ProChoice Voting Guide and getting our candidates elected!
As a result, 95% of our candidates were elected on November 4th, including a Congressman (Sean Patrick Maloney) and a State Senator (George Latimer) who were under tremendous attack. Plus we elected a terrific Supreme Court Justice (James Hubert) to his first term representing the 9th District which is made up of 5 counties. In addition, our strong advocacy for the re-election of our phenomenal pro-choice Attorney General, Eric Schneiderman, resulted in a very strong win for him here in Westchester, the county that decided this year’s elections. Your financial support enabled us to do that!
Unfortunately, the rest of the country and New York State had a horrific Election Day. Both Houses of Congress and the New York State Senate are now ruled by anti-choice extremist majorities. This is a very dangerous time for reproductive rights in New York, and nationally, but we shall battle on!
With your help, we will continue to persevere and win.
