Personal PAC endorsements in Cook County judicial races

From the Personal PAC website:
Personal PAC is a bi-partisan political action committee dedicated to electing pro-choice candidates to state and local office in Illinois.

Pro-choice forces are currently facing an unprecedented attack on reproductive rights. Anti-choice candidates and legislation, on both the state and national level, are threatening to dangerously restrict and deny access to safe and legal abortions.

This renewed assault on reproductive and abortion rights must be reversed with an electoral strategy designed to defeat anti-choice politicians, and to elect and re-elect pro-choice officials dedicated to protecting a woman’s right to choose.

Personal PAC’s determination and time-tested strategy for electing solidly pro-choice candidates in Illinois is needed now more than ever for the upcoming elections.
