Women’s Organizations Support Hoyer’s Reelection to Congress

BOWIE, MD – Congressman Steny H. Hoyer is proud to have received support from Planned Parenthood Action Fund and NARAL Pro-Choice America as he runs for reelection to Congress in the Fifth Congressional District.

“Planned Parenthood and NARAL are critical organizations that advocate for the health and well-being of women in Maryland and across our nation,” said Congressman Hoyer. “I am proud to stand with them as we work to improve women’s access to health care and oppose efforts to restrict a woman’s right to choose. At a time when many in Congress continue to target women’s health care rights and put the lives of doctors, researchers, first responders, and patients at risk, I will continue to partner with Planned Parenthood and NARAL to defend a woman’s right to choose and women’s access to health care.”

“We are thrilled to announce that you have received the endorsement of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund and its Planned Parenthood Federal PAC,” said Cecile Richards, President of Planned Parenthood Action Fund and Naomi Aberly, Chair of Planned Parenthood Federal PAC. “You have been a strong supporter of women’s health and we know you will continue to be a dedicated advocate for Planned Parenthood Federation of America.”

“Steny Hoyer has always stood for protecting and expanding Americans' reproductive freedom,” said Ilyse Hogue, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America. “As a leader, Steny has fought back against partisan attacks on Planned Parenthood and worked to protect access to affordable birth control. In pushing back against Republican attempts to ban abortion and limit women's access to basic reproductive healthcare, Steny has always stood with the 7 in 10 Americans who want abortion to remain legal and accessible. NARAL is proud to stand with Rep. Steny Hoyer as he continues to fight for women and families in Maryland and across the nation.”
