Strong advocate for protecting access to women's health care

As a former nurse, Patty knows the importance of quality health care and how critical it is that women be able to make their own health care decisions. Patty has been a strong advocate throughout her career for protecting access to health care for women. She will stand up to Republicans like Chuck Grassley who believe Planned Parenthood should be defunded and will fight any attempts to make it more difficult for women to receive the health care they need.

Endorsed Endorsed by EMILY's list for pro-choice Democratic women.

Judge is endorsed by Congressional endorsement list

Our immediate focus is to protect our gains from 2008 and make sure President Obama has strong Democratic majorities in Congress. Its name? EMILY's List--an acronym for "Early Money Is Like Yeast" (because it makes the dough--campaign funds--rise).
