WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Elect Democratic Women (EDW), the Congressional Member-led committee dedicated to electing more pro-choice Democratic women to Congress, announced its endorsement of Kristin Lyerly for Wisconsin’s 8th Congressional District.
“As an OB/GYN, Kristin knows how crucial it is for women to have access to life-saving reproductive care and to be able to make their own choices about their bodies and futures,” said Rep. Lois Frankel, Chair of Elect Democratic Women. “She has seen first hand the harm that restrictions on reproductive rights have on women and their families. Bringing this perspective to Congress is more important now than ever, and EDW is proud to endorse her in her campaign for Wisconsin’s 8th Congressional District.”
“As an OB/GYN on the frontlines of the fight for abortion access in Wisconsin, I have seen firsthand how dangerous restrictions on women’s reproductive care can be. I’m running for Congress to ensure that access to abortion, IVF, contraception, and women’s healthcare is protected nationwide and am honored to have the endorsement of Elect Democratic Women in my campaign,” said Dr. Kristin Lyerly.
