CALIFORNIA’S 48TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT

WEDECIDE OUR FUTURE.

Electing California candidates who support reproductive freedom is key to preventing further cuts to Planned Parenthood health centers, keeping health center doors across the country open, and making sure that everyone, no matter their zip code, has the freedom to make their own personal healthcare decisions.

WHAT’S AT STAKE

California families shouldn’t have to choose between HEALTHCARE and the basics.

It’s more important than ever to elect candidates who understand the challenges California families face when it comes to healthcare.

Families are grappling with rising costs and too often forced to choose between healthcare and other basic necessities — and Congressional Republicans are working to eliminate affordable healthcare options like Medi-Cal.
