FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 23, 2009 NARAL PRO-CHOICE VIRGINIA PAC ANNOUNCES ENDORSEMENT OF DELEGATE PAUL NICHOLS, DISTRICT 51 Endorsement highlights organization’s dedication to building a pro-choice majority in the Virginia House of Delegates (Alexandria, VA) – Today, NARAL Pro-Choice Virginia PAC, the commonwealth’s leading advocate for personal privacy and a woman’s right to choose, announced its endorsement of Delegate Paul Nichols for House District 51, who is running for re-election against candidate Richard Anderson. For the past two years, Delegate Nichols has received a 100% score on the NARAL Pro-Choice Virginia Legislative Scorecard. “Delegate Nichols has done an outstanding job protecting the healthcare needs of the 51st District and we look forward to continuing to work with him over many years to come,” said Tarina Keene, Executive Director of NARAL Pro-Choice Virginia. In last year’s session, Delegate Nichols co-patroned a bill that would have expanded medical coverage and assistance to women facing breast and cervical cancer. “Delegate Nichols is a pro-choice leader who will support measures to prevent unintended pregnancies and reduce the need for abortion – values the residents of the 51st District look for in their legislators,” Keene continued. NARAL Pro-Choice Virginia supports candidates who are dedicated to family planning, preventing unintended pregnancy, and increasing access to reproductive healthcare for women and families. The organization’s powerful statewide network of activists will mobilize pro-choice voters throughout Virginia to help re-elect Delegate Nichols and other pro-choice candidates in November.
