Planned Parenthood Endorses Democratic District 38 Legislators

BERGEN COUNTY, NJ — Three incumbent legislators have been endorsed by the state PAC of Planned Parenthood.

Democrats Senator Bob Gordon, Assemblyman Tim Eustace and Assemblyman Joe Lagana (D-38) have been endorsed by the Planning Parenthood Action Fund of New Jersey, the political arm of the women's health advocacy organization. They are seeking reelection.

The three representatives have consistently voted to restore a $7.5 million annual cut to women's health funding imposed by Gov. Chris Christie.

"Planned Parenthood provides vital health services to thousands of women across New Jersey who may not have any other means of affordable care," Lagana said in a statement. "Our state should be supporting organizations like this as well as the cause of making sure women have access to the care they need and I am proud of our record of fighting for women in New Jersey."

The 38th Legislative District includes parts of Bergen and Passaic counties.
