Reproductive Freedom for All Arizona Announces Second Slate of Endorsements for State Legislature

Phoenix, Arizona — Today, Reproductive Freedom for All Arizona announced its latest round of primary endorsements for candidates seeking re-election to the Arizona State House of Representatives in the 2024 election cycle. Arizona is at a critical juncture to secure a reproductive freedom majority in both chambers this cycle, positioning it as one of the most critical state legislative elections in the nation.

State House

• Representative Oscar De Los Santos (LD 11)
• Representative Junelle Cavero (LD 11)

Athena Salman, Director of Arizona Campaigns for Reproductive Freedom for All issued the following statement:

“To effectively fight abortion bans and protect our fundamental rights in our home state of Arizona, we must secure pro-reproductive rights majorities in both houses of the legislature. Nine out of ten Arizonans believe in the legal right to abortion, and they are mobilizing to elect candidates who will fight for them. It is because of advocates like them that we were able to repeal the total abortion ban of 1864, and we are proud to support them in this election. Their leadership is crucial to Legislative District 11 in combating the continued attacks on abortion access by anti-abortion extremists.“

This announcement builds on Reproductive Freedom for All Arizona’s ongoing efforts to support and endorse candidates committed to protecting and advancing reproductive freedom.

Reproductive Freedom for All is already on the ground in states across the country, including Arizona, as part of its largest-ever ballot initiative, working to ensure that reproductive freedom advocates are elected from state legislatures to the White House and that we protect and expand abortion rights and access through ballot measures. Our 2024 agenda provides voters with opportunities to make immediate, tangible changes to help build a future where everyone is free to make their own decisions about their bodies, lives, and families.
