Some non-judicial endorsements for your reading pleasure, from the Planned Parenthood of Houston and Southeast Texas Action Fund PAC. The press release with the list of endorsed candidates is here. A brief excerpt:
:
The Board of Directors of the Planned Parenthood of Houston and Southeast Texas ACTION FUND Inc, PAC (PPHSETAF PAC) voted to endorse the following candidates for the March Primary Election. The endorsements were made based on written responses to questionnaires sent to all candidates on the ballot and on criteria established by the Board of Directors. Each of the endorsed candidates has demonstrated a strong commitment to the health and well being of Texas women and families. PPHSETAF PAC encourages all Houston registered voters to cast their ballot for candidates who support women’s health education, information and services.
I’ve included the list of candidates beneath the fold as well. As you know, this is an endorsement that I value more than many others, so please check them out. And yes, the relevant ones are noted on the 2010 Election page.
