Planned Parenthood Advocates of New York endorses Tom DiNapoli for NYS Comptroller
PRESS RELEASE: 8/20/10
“Today, Planned Parenthood Advocates of New York is proud to endorse Tom DiNapoli. He is an unwavering advocate for the women and families of New York State who rely on access to affordable, comprehensive reproductive health care, especially among the growing number of uninsured,” said PPANY Board Chair Joan Malin. “For more than two decades, Tom DiNapoli served as a prochoice Member of the Assembly and carried his support for reproductive health and rights into his work as the state’s fiscal watchdog.”
In the Assembly, DiNapoli championed women’s reproductive health by supporting the Clinic Access Bill, Women’s Health and Wellness Act and Emergency Contraception in the ER for rape victims. Additionally, he has been a staunch supporter of making comprehensive, medically accurate, age-appropriate sex education more broadly available to New York’s youth.
“During this unprecedented budget crisis, Comptroller DiNapoli has demonstrated an independent and strong commitment to fiscal reform by placing an emphasis on the health of nonprofits and the need to streamline government contracting,” said PPANY President and CEO M. Tracey Brooks. “New York’s women and families need a state comptroller who understands the importance of timely access to critical state funds for safety net health care providers like Planned Parenthood so they can keep their doors open.”
"I am truly honored to receive the endorsement of Planned Parenthood Advocates of New York," said Comptroller DiNapoli. "As Comptroller, as well as in my two decades of service in the Assembly, I have been an advocate for policies that protect the health and well-being of women in New York. I share the values for which the leaders and membership of Planned Parenthood Advocates of New York stand: preserving and advancing reproductive health care and justice for all women and families. I am proud to stand with this organization as they now stand by me as their first endorsed candidate for statewide office in 2010."
Planned Parenthood Advocates of New York State is a non-partisan, not-for-profit organization formed as the advocacy and political arm of the Planned Parenthoods of New York State.
