Republican Majority for Choice endorsed Megan Rath in the 1st Congressional District.
Rath is challenging Democratic Rep. Bob Brady.
“Washington is in dire need of more independent thinkers like Rath, who believe that these basic platform tenets apply to all aspects of policy, from economics to social policy issues like reproductive choice. She will be a welcome addition to the mainstream Republican caucus that will not be swayed by fringe party politics,” said RMC co-chairwoman Candy Straight.
The challenger is a healthcare professional who has spent her career working to ensure that physicians and patients have access to care and support. As an independent consultant, she deals with regulatory hurdles and economic stress endured by small businesses. She calls Obamacare “disastrous.”
RMC co-chairwoman Susan Bevan said, “Rath is a true fiscal conservative who understands that the government should pursue common-sense, cost-effective policies while protecting the rights of individuals. These beliefs fortify her pro-choice position, believing individuals should enjoy the freedom to make vital family and medical decisions for themselves. And her emphasis on conservative fiscal policy lends to her appreciation for preventative health services that reduce long-term costs to the government, and more importantly to taxpayers.”
Republican Majority for Choice promotes what it believes are mainstream policies, and supports pro-choice Republican candidates that it thinks promote common-sense solutions for Americans.
The RMC political action committee supports those who back access to reproductive options such as education, prevention, motherhood and adoption. ••
