WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Elect Democratic Women (EDW), the Congressional Member-led committee dedicated to electing Democratic women to Congress, announced its endorsement of Dr. Ala Stanford for Pennsylvania’s 3rd Congressional District.
“Dr. Ala Stanford is exactly the kind of leader we need in Congress to stand up to Republican attacks on health care and deliver for working families,” said Liz Gallagher, Executive Director of Elect Democratic Women. “A pediatric surgeon and champion for affordable, accessible care, she has dedicated her career to making sure communities get the care they need. From founding the Black Doctors COVID-19 Consortium to opening the Center for Health Equity, Dr. Stanford has consistently stepped up when it matters most. Elect Democratic Women is proud to endorse her campaign.”
“I’ve seen firsthand what happens when government fails its most vulnerable, and I’ve spent my career on the front lines closing those gaps— delivering care directly to underserved Philadelphia neighborhoods, advancing solutions to the affordability crisis, and giving back to the community that raised me,” said Dr. Ala Stanford. “As a mom and proud daughter of Philly, I know how much is at stake for working families, and I’m grateful for Elect Democratic Women’s support in this fight.”
