NARAL Pro-Choice America Endorses Tom Malinowski Bid For Congress

Candidate for New Jersey’s 7th District Earns Endorsement from Nation’s Leading Pro-Choice Advocacy Group

NARAL Pro-Choice America today announced its endorsement of Tom Malinowski in his bid to represent New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District.

“Tom Malinowski has a strong record of supporting women’s access to reproductive healthcare and we know he will continue to make our rights a top priority when he’s in Congress,” said Ilyse Hogue, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America. “Women and families across New Jersey deserve leadership from unapologetically pro-choice fighters like Tom Malinowski and we are proud to support him.”

“I’m proud to have the support of NARAL Pro-Choice America members and share their belief that reproductive rights are human rights,” said Malinowski. “Access to contraception, safe, legal abortion, and providing support for working parents through paid family leave is good for women, families, and our economy,”

Tom Malinowski served on President Clinton’s National Security Council, worked for Human Rights Watch, and served as Assistant Secretary of State under President Obama where he fought to defend the human rights of women and LGBTQ families. During his time at Human Rights Watch and the State Department, Malinowski consistently advocated for women’s rights, from insisting women be included in the peace process in Afghanistan to opposing gender discrimination in Saudi Arabia. He was also one of the leading advocates for funding women-led organizations in Syria that stood up to extremists.
