Berkshire County — Leigh Davis announced on Wednesday, September 11, that Reproductive Equity Now has endorsed her campaign state representative in the 3rd Berkshire District. Reproductive Equity Now works across Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New Hampshire to expand and protect access to the full spectrum of reproductive healthcare, including abortion, pregnancy, and maternal medicine; child care; gender-affirming care; and more.
“We’re proud to endorse Leigh Davis for state representative in the 3rd Berkshire District,” said Reproductive Equity Now President Rebecca Hart Holder. “As we’ve seen in the last two years since the Dobbs decision, anti-abortion politicians are determined to criminalize and eradicate all forms of reproductive health care, including abortion, IVF, gender-affirming care, and contraception. We cannot stand idly by as attacks on our bodily autonomy continue to mount. Reproductive freedom is on the ballot in every race across New England this Election Day. That is why it is so important that we elect reproductive equity champions up and down the ballot this November and why we’re proud to support Leigh Davis who is committed to leading on a bold reproductive equity agenda for Massachusetts.”
“I am thrilled and honored that Reproductive Equity Now has endorsed me as its champion in the 3rd Berkshire District,” said Davis. “As a woman, a mother, and an advocate for safe, affordable, and accessible healthcare for all, I am committed to ensuring everyone—no matter who they are or where they live—has the education, support, and care they need to stay healthy.”
“As over 20 state legislatures across the country have already taken steps to strip away abortion rights and critical reproductive healthcare, strong pro-reproductive equity leadership on Beacon Hill is more important than ever before,” Davis’ campaign states in their announcement of the endorsement. “Reproductive Equity Now is proud to endorse candidates who will ensure Massachusetts remains a beacon for reproductive freedom post-Roe, and continue to lead with creative, bold, and unequivocally pro-repro policy.”
