PORTLAND, OR – Brad Avakian has always been a champion for Oregon's women and families and we couldn’t be more proud of his victory in today’s primary for Secretary of State!
Michele Stranger Hunter, Executive Director of NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon, made the following statement:
“Brad Avakian is the pro-choice champion Oregon women and families deserve. His win today proves that defending reproductive rights is a winning issue for Oregon voters. Brad has a long history of supporting a woman’s right to make her own medical decisions and will continue to champion progressive Oregon values as our next Secretary of State.”
With reproductive freedom under attack like never before, we need champions who will defend and expand equitable and affordable access to the full range of reproductive health services, no matter your income or zip code. This is why Brad Avakian received the sole endorsement of the NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon PAC.
As stated by Brad Avakian in his NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon PAC interview:
“Access to abortion is essential as a fundamental civil right. I will use the authority of my position to be a champion of choice...not having access to reproductive healthcare forces society backwards and forces women to make choices that put their lives at risk.”
NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon is proud to support those who use the authority and platform of their office to champion our shared values and will always be there for those who stand up for the rights of Oregon’s women and families.
