[BOSTON, MA] Nichole Mossalam, candidate for State Representative for the 35th Middlesex District covering Medford and Malden, has received the endorsement of the Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund of Massachusetts. The Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund works to protect and increase access to sexual and reproductive health care and sex education by advocating for state policies, electing local champions, and organizing supporters to ensure Massachusetts continues to be a national leader for reproductive health, rights, and freedom.
“Right now, patients here and around the country are counting on Massachusetts to make abortion, contraception, and LGBTQ+ health care as accessible as possible, especially in the face of a possible federal Administration hell-bent on eliminating access to this care,” says Dominique Lee, President of the Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund of Massachusetts. “That’s why we must elect lawmakers that are bold, effective, unapologetic champions for reproductive freedom in every district. As State Representative, Nichole will prioritize advancing reproductive health equity in Massachusetts, dismantling barriers to care, and ensuring safe, legal abortion is accessible to all. The stakes have never been higher in the fight for reproductive rights and healthcare access, and the Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund is proud to endorse and fight alongside Nichole Mossalam.”
“I am honored to receive the endorsement of the Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund of Massachusetts and am deeply committed to ensuring all patients can safely and easily access sexual and reproductive health care in our communities,” says Mossalam. “We had difficulty starting our family and it was Planned Parenthood that provided me with the medical resources I needed to preserve my fertility. I know many across Massachusetts and the country share my story, which is why I will work tirelessly to dismantle barriers to care, protect abortion access, and ensure residents have access to medically accurate, unbiased health care.”
In 2022, Mossalam came 50 votes short of unseating Representative Paul Donato and through her campaign, directed attention to his record on women’s issues, mobilizing the community around reproductive justice in a post-Roe America. If elected in 2024, she would be the first woman to ever represent the 35th Middlesex.
