NARAL Pro-Choice California PrivacyPAC - NARAL Pro-Choice California

Founded in 2006, NARAL Pro-Choice California PrivacyPAC is the only statewide, non-partisan, pro-choice political action committee leading the effort to elect champions for reproductive freedom in California.

In the 2018 election:

95% of PrivacyPAC-endorsed candidates were victorious
All NARAL-endorsed candidates for statewide office were victorious,
including California’s first-ever elected female Lieutenant Governor,
Eleni Kounalakis
NARAL-endorsed candidates Rebecca Bauer-Kahan (AD 16), Christy
Smith (AD 38), Cottie Petrie-Norris (AD 74), and Tom Umberg (SD 34)
unseated anti- or mixed-choice incumbents to create the largest
pro-choice majority in the state’s history

The powerful pro-choice majorities we’ve elected allow NARAL to pass ambitious legislation to expand reproductive freedom for all Californians and lead the nation as a beacon of pro-active policy making.

Our champions do more than pass innovative pro-choice legislation in California–many will be elected to the U. S. Congress. With 50% of Congress coming from state legislatures, PrivacyPAC focuses on building a strong pipeline of pro-choice candidates, so that when California sends a new member to Congress, that member has a proven record championing reproductive freedom for all.

If you have questions about NARAL Pro-Choice California PrivacyPAC and our endorsement process, please contact NARAL Pro-Choice California Director Shannon Hovis.
