Washington, D.C. – Today, National Republican Senatorial Committee Press Secretary Katharine Cooksey released the following statement regarding Abby Finkenauer’s endorsement from EMILY’s List, a pro-abortion special interest group:
“With little support from Iowa families and job creators, Abby Finkenauer has to turn to D.C.’s leading abortion lobby to boost her failing campaign. The 100 percent pro-abortion policies pushed by the radicals at EMILY’s List are abhorrent and widely rejected by Iowans – making them the perfect ally for out-of-touch Abby Finkenauer. Like the failed candidates before her, Abby Finkenauer’s endorsement from the pro-abortion radicals at EMILY’s List will do nothing to help her.”
