Planned Parenthood Endorses Congressman Derek Tran

National sexual and reproductive healthcare group targets this high-stakes race to ensure legislative majorities in 2026 Midterms

Garden Grove, CA – Today, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, the political arm of Planned Parenthood, endorsed frontline candidate Derek Tran, who represents the most competitive House seat in Southern California.

Since Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans declared an all-out war on health care, healthcare groups like Planned Parenthood have been forced to cut back on providing necessary services to patients, including cancer screenings, birth control, prenatal care, and primary care. Across Orange and Los Angeles Counties, Congressman Tran has stood strong to protect access to these critical health services.

“It is an honor to earn the support of Planned Parenthood Action Fund,” said Congressman Tran. “I’ve seen firsthand the devastating impacts that the Donald Trump and Republican health care cuts have had on my constituents. I’m proud to be a health care advocate in Congress and defend access to these critical health services. In November, we will ensure federal funding protects sexual and reproductive health care with a Democratic House majority.”

“Planned Parenthood Action Fund is proud to endorse Derek Tran for Congress,” said Alexis McGill Johnson, President of Planned Parenthood Action Fund. “Derek understands that reproductive freedom is a human right and has worked tirelessly to protect reproductive rights against threats from anti-abortion politicians in Congress. While this administration continues to attack sexual and reproductive health care, Congressman Tran's record in Congress shows his commitment to stand up for patients and providers and defend access to critical services. Derek will work to ensure every person can make their own health care decisions, free from political interference.”
