NARAL Pro-Choice America today announced its endorsement of Grace Meng in her campaign for re-election to represent New York’s 6th Congressional District.
“Congresswoman Meng is a champion for New York women and families, and we are proud to endorse her re-election to Congress,” said Ilyse Hogue, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America. “New York women and families deserve someone who will set a standard for what it means to be a champion for reproductive freedom. Grace Meng has done that and we are thrilled to support her.”
“I’m honored to receive NARAL Pro-Choice America’s endorsement,” said Meng. “NARAL is a crucial ally in the fight for women’s reproductive freedom across the country, and I’m proud to fight alongside them.”
Grace Meng has been a passionate champion for women, especially low-income women during her time in Congress. Meng has a 100% pro-choice record during her time in Congress, including votes against an Affordable Care Act repeal and an unconstitutional abortion ban. She recently introduced a bill that would make feminine products more affordable and another bill that would require ingredient labeling for menstrual hygiene products. Meng has been a voice of reason on all women’s issues ranging from female incarceration to breastfeeding rights for mothers.
