Planned Parenthood Action Fund has endorsed Sue Altman for Congress, signaling that the group plans to spend money in New Jersey’s 7th district painting the freshman Republican incumbent, Tom Kean, Jr. (R-Westfield), as having an “anti-choice” record.
Altman said the endorsement comes “at a time when far-right extremists attempt to ban abortion nationwide, even here in New Jersey.”
“I remain steadfast in my commitment to protecting a woman’s right to choose and ensuring women have access to contraception, IVF, and comprehensive, affordable reproductive healthcare, and look forward to codifying these fundamental rights at the federal level when elected to Congress,” she said.
Altman has attacked Kean for votes to restrict access to reproductive healthcare for women in the armed services.
Kean can expect Democrats to paint him as an enabler of a national Republican agenda on abortion in one of the nation’s most competitive House races.
