NARAL Pro-Choice America Congratulates Rep. David Cicilline on His Successful Re-Election
Washington, D.C. – Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, congratulated Rep. David Cicilline on his successful bid to represent Rhode Island’s 1st Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives once again.
“I congratulate the Cicilline campaign on a job well done,” said Keenan. “Rep. Cicilline has been a pro-choice champion, fighting for women in a very hostile Congress. This election was another opportunity for voters to stand up for leaders - like Rep. Cicilline - who protect our reproductive freedom and privacy.”
NARAL Pro-Choice America PAC endorsed and contributed $10,000 to Rep. David Cicilline’s campaign for Congress.
During the 2012 election cycle, NARAL Pro-Choice America and NARAL Pro-Choice America PAC spent more than $3.3 million to support President Obama, incumbent pro-choice senators and congressional representatives and challengers running in states and districts throughout the country. This amount includes more than $700,000 in direct contributions to federal candidates and committees; nearly $200,000 on member communications; and more than $1.3 million on independent-expenditure activity.
NARAL Pro-Choice America’s independent expenditure program included mail, phones, television, and Internet advertising to reach 338,020 targeted pro-choice Obama defector voters in 25 counties within nine battleground states: CO, FL, IA, NC, NH, NV, OH, VA, WI. These “defectors” are women voters who supported President Obama in 2008, but were unsure or not planning to support his re-election.
