State Rep. Rick Noriega (D)

U.S. Senate, Texas

• State Representative Rick Noriega is fully pro-choice.
• Rick Noriega is challenging anti-choice Senator John Cornyn, who has consistently received a 0% rating from NARAL Pro-Choice America.
• Senator Cornyn opposes not just legal abortion, but also votes against every prevention measure.  But his real anti-choice claim to fame is the role he plays on the Senate Judiciary Committee, shepherding President Bush's judicial nominees through the confirmation process and serving as their chief apologist on the committee.
• As a state Representative, Mr. Noriega has achieved a pro-choice, pro-prevention rating of 100%+ from NARAL Pro-Choice Texas.  The "+" indicates that not only has he voted for choice, but that he has authored pro-choice bills as well.
