Wake County Board of Commissioners
 This year, several members of the Wake County Board of Commissioners voted to strip coverage for abortion services from Wake County employee insurance plans.  Due to the efforts of our pro-choice majority, they were unsuccessful. As a result, the PPHS Action Fund is making endorsements in the commissioners’ races for the first time.  The candidates below all support including abortion coverage as part of a basic employee health plan. 

Commissioner Lindy Brown
Commissioner Brown was a fearless champion for comprehensive reproductive health insurance for Wake County employees this past spring.  Her efforts were instrumental in restoring abortion care to the County insurance policy.

Mr. Donald Mial
Don Mial has pledged his support for a woman’s right to make fundamental reproductive health decisions without government interference.

Mr. Jack Nichols

These candidates have pledged to do more than just support a woman’s right to choose. They have also agreed to support expanding access to information, education and health services to reduce unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections, including HIV/AIDS. Once elected, they will continue to stand up for women and families and put commonsense health care needs ahead of ideology and politics.

A lot of voters are solely focused on federal races; however, when it comes down to the life of the average woman in WV who needs to fill her birth control prescription, or get STD testing, or access an abortion, it is the men and women in our state legislature that hold the keys to her ability to access necessary health care.

Make no mistake: the anti-choice zealots are hard at work limiting access to reproductive health for women throughout our state.  Just this year alone, dozens of anti-choice bills were filed at the state legislature.

Help us work hard this election year to protect against these attacks.  There are many anti-choice senators and delegates up for re-election and many of our great pro-choice legislators are going to be in tight races.  With your support, we have an opportunity to defeat anti-choice incumbents, increase our pro-choice seats, and re-elect legislators who will continue to protect our right to privacy.

That is why we are asking you to make a contribution today. Your generous donation will help us ensure that pro-choice candidates will be supported and victorious.
