Planned Parenthood Advocates of Virginia endorses Steve Shannon for Virginia attorney general.
Women are counting on you — don't forget to vote on November 3!
Dear xxxx,
The stakes are high in this election. As a trusted advocate for tens of thousands of women and young adults who need critical health care and education, Planned Parenthood Advocates of Virginia has a strong interest in electing an attorney general who supports women's health and reproductive rights. This fall, there is only one candidate that fits that description: Steve Shannon.
Planned Parenthood Advocates of Virginia (PPAV) enthusiastically endorses Steve Shannon for the next attorney general of Virginia.
As a member of the Virginia House of Delegates, Steve Shannon has received a 100 percent rating on his voting record from PPAV. He has consistently supported quality health care for women, comprehensive sex education to keep our young people healthy, and a commitment to investing in prevention programs, including family planning services and breast cancer screenings. He's exactly the kind of leader Virginia's women, men, and families need in Richmond.
At a time when more and more families in Virginia are uninsured and under financial strain, we can't afford to elect officials who will create more barriers to affordable health care. Unfortunately, Ken Cuccinelli has made clear he would use the office of attorney general as a platform for enforcing his dangerous ideology. From his attempts to defund Planned Parenthood to his votes to limit access to safe, affordable reproductive health care, Cuccinelli has taken extreme positions against women's health during his tenure as a state senator.
It's more important than ever to elect an attorney general who will join with Planned Parenthood Advocates of Virginia in our work and ensure that all women have access to safe, high-quality, affordable health care. That candidate is Steve Shannon.
We urge you to vote for Steve Shannon for Virginia attorney general on Election Day, November 3.
Sincerely,
Laura Meyers, Chair Planned Parenthood Advocates of Virginia

Oh, that’ll help him.. NOT!!
Kiss of death a la The Godfather. LOL!!!
Hey Steve, yer a bit out o' step with the rest of us here in the Old Dominion.
Time to get rid of politicians that support the culture of death. Shannon is one of them. I will be sure to vote for Cuccinelli. The article did not mention Shannon’s political affiliation; it is clearly Democrat (Marxist, Communist).
I thought they were a 501(C)(3) non profit? If so, then wouldn’t they be procluded from endorsing a candidate?
