Planned Parenthood Action Fund Endorses Derek Tran

Garden Grove, CA — Today, U.S. Army Veteran and workers’ rights attorney Derek Tran, who is running in California’s 45th Congressional District, announced the support of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, the political arm of Planned Parenthood. The PPAF works to elect leaders who stand up for women’s right to choose. The Republican incumbent in CA-45, Michelle Steel, is one of the most extreme anti-choice members of Congress. She has twice co-sponsored the Life at Conception Act, a national abortion ban with no exceptions for rape, incest, the health of the mother, or IVF treatments.

"Planned Parenthood Action Fund is proud to endorse Derek Tran for Congress. He is a leader who understands that reproductive freedom is paramount and he will work tirelessly alongside Planned Parenthood Action Fund to enshrine reproductive rights into law. His opponent, Michelle Steel, has twice co-sponsored the Life at Conception Act, even with its disastrous consequences for sexual and reproductive health care, including for IVF treatments. Planned Parenthood Action Fund stands with Derek and looks forward to working with him when he is Congress." – Alexis McGill Johnson, President, Planned Parenthood Action Fund

“I am honored to have the support of Planned Parenthood Action Fund in my run for Congress. I will work tirelessly with them to protect women’s reproductive freedoms when in Congress. Michelle Steel’s extreme, out of touch, and punitive anti-choice agenda must be stopped.”– Derek Tran
