By now we all know that Minnesota elected a pro-choice President, but do you know what other pro-choice candidates made the cut?
Listen to my interview with Tim Stanley, Executive Director of the Planned Parenthood Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota Action Fund, by using the player below. You can can also subscribe to our podcast in itunes.
In the State House, we held onto our narrow pro-choice majority and gained at least 2 additional pro-family planning seats! Unfortunately, we also lost a few of our strongest supporters; most notably, Ron Erhardt (Edina) lost his re-election bid. Ron had served Edina for 18 years and was the last pro-choice Republican in the Minnesota House.
At the Federal level, we await the results of the U.S. Senate race and are hopeful that a recount will bring victory for Al Franken! However, several pro-choice candidates were elected to U.S. Congress including Betty McCollum, Keith Ellison and Tim Walz!
Check out the list of pro-choice candidates that won on Tuesday on the list to the right! ------>
Thanks for voting!!! It really makes a difference!
