Gaithersburg, MD – GIFFORDS PAC and Reproductive Freedom for All, announced their endorsement of April McClain Delaney for Congress in Maryland’s 6th District. The endorsements highlight McClain Delaney’s unwavering commitment to championing reproductive rights and sensible gun violence reform, and underscores the broad appeal McClain Delaney has garnered in her campaign for Maryland’s 6th District.
GIFFORDS PAC
“The United States is in the midst of a gun violence epidemic. Guns are the number one killer of children. That is unacceptable and it won’t change unless we have leaders in Congress who are willing to put the lives of their constituents before the wills of the gun lobby,” said former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords. “That’s why GIFFORDS PAC is proud to endorse April McClain Delaney today. It is critical that Marylanders send April to Congress to help us win back a gun safety majority in the House of Representatives that will take concrete action to save lives. This is a critical time in our nation’s history and I’m proud to support April McClain Delaney because she will always stand up for what’s right.”
Reproductive Freedom for All
“Trump’s abortion bans are doing real harm to our communities, and we need leaders in Congress who will fight to stop them and restore the right to abortion,” said President and CEO Mini Timmaraju. April McClain Delaney is “committed to doing that, and helping us get one step closer to locking in the reproductive freedom majority we need to pass federal abortion protections and expand access. Our members are ready to get to work and rally behind [her] to ensure we send [her] to the House this November.”
“I am honored to receive the endorsement of organizations leading the fight on some of our most pressing issues. The future of reproductive rights and the threats of gun violence are issues that impact the lives of so many in our community,” said April McClain Delaney.
“My opponent’s stance on gun control has consistently favored the interests of the gun lobby over the safety of our communities, and his position on reproductive rights is alarmingly regressive, seeking to roll back decades of progress on women’s health and autonomy. By opposing common-sense gun safety legislation, and threatening access to safe and legal reproductive healthcare for women, Neil Parrott has demonstrated a blatant disconnect between the needs and values of our communities. We must fight for policies that protect and empower individuals, and ensure that everyone has access to the healthcare they need, and that our communities are safe from gun violence.”
