NARAL Pro-Choice Connecticut PAC has announced endorsements for the
August 10th Primaries in key races across Connecticut. The group is
non-partisan, and endorsements are given only to candidates who
request an endorsement and are deemed by the PAC to be 100% pro-
choice.

In the Republican Primary for Attorney General, NARAL Pro-Choice CT
PAC has endorsed Ross Garber. Garber faces anti-choice challenger
Martha Dean who has been endorsed by the anti-choice Family Institute
of Connecticut (FIC).

“Ross Garber promises to enforce the laws of Connecticut,” said PAC
Chair Cari Pierdes. “It is extremely important that the next Attorney
General of the state of Connecticut remain pro-choice”.

In the Democratic Primary for State Comptroller, NARAL Pro-Choice
Connecticut PAC has endorsed Kevin Lembo. Kevin Lembo is a leader on
reproductive choice.

“As the state’s HealthCare Advocate, Kevin worked closely with the pro-
choice community in defense of federal conscious clause legislation
and attempts to restrict access to abortion in federal health care
reform,” said Cari Pierdes, NARAL Pro-Choice Connecticut PAC
Chair.

Lembo faces anti-choice Michael Jarjura in an August 10th Democratic
Primary.

NARAL Pro-Choice Connecticut PAC has also endorsed two candidates in
state House primaries: Matt Ritter in the 1st district Democratic
Primary (Hartford), and Susana Vidan for the open seat in a Democratic
Primary in the 144th district (Stamford).

NARAL Pro-Choice Connecticut PAC also notes that gubernatorial
candidates Ned Lamont and Dan Malloy, Lieutenant Governor candidates
Nancy Wyman and Mary Glassman, and Secretary of State candidates
Denise Merrill and Gerry Garcia are all 100% pro-choice based on their
responses to the PAC questionnaire.
