Planned Parenthood Advocates of Arizona Announces its Endorsed Candidates
PHOENIX -- Planned Parenthood Advocates of Arizona (PPAA) proudly announces its endorsement of Arizona candidates for Senate and House running in the upcoming elections.
“We are pleased to support pro-reproductive health candidates who advocate our positive mission,” says Bryan Howard, President of PPAA. “The candidates we are endorsing stand for women, reproductive health issues, a better standard of education, and an Arizona where politics do not interfere with personal health care decisions. In order to ensure health, freedom, and wellbeing for all Arizonans, these leaders act. No matter what.”
PPAA’s PAC is a Super PAC, which was made possible by the contributions of hundreds of PPAA members. The Super PAC’s primary focus is to support endorsed candidates who stand for access to women’s health, sexuality education, and the freedom for Arizonans to make their own health care decisions and choose their own health care provider.
