Women's Campaign Fund is proud to stand with Beth Alois, a candidate who has been incredibly active in her community and possesses a proven commitment to its future. WCF is thrilled to endorse Alois as she seeks to represent the 168th State District of Pennsylvania—a state that currently holds an abysmal ranking for women in elected office.

Beth Alois is the pro-choice, pro-women’s rights candidate in the 168th, which includes Newtown Square, Media, Rose Valley, Middletown, Edgmont, Thornbury, and parts of Upper Providence and Nether Providence in Delaware County, as well as Westtown in Chester County.

Alois is running against Tom Killion, who was one of the sponsors of Bill 1077, the Mandatory Invasive Ultrasound Bill. Bill 1077 would force doctors to perform an
invasive procedure on pregnant women without the woman’s consent and regardless of the doctor’s determination of need. Tom Killion has voted for other
legislation that attempts to prevent Planned Parenthood from meeting the healthcare needs of women in Pennsylvania.

Alois is a local Realtor and former Librarian. She is also the Vice-Chair of the Thornbury Democratic Committee, member of the Chester County Advocacy Committee for Planned Parenthood Southeastern PA, and a member of the Board of Directors of the Chadds Ford Business Association.
