Reproductive Freedom for All, formerly known as NARAL Pro-Choice America, is backing the Democratic congressman over the independent Arizona senator.
A powerful abortion-rights group is throwing its support behind Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego in the Arizona Senate race after having backed Democratic-turned-independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema in her last election.
Reproductive Freedom for All, formerly known as NARAL Pro-Choice America, a key organization that funds candidates who support abortion rights, is officially endorsing Gallego on Wednesday, it said in an announcement first shared with NBC News.
Gallego announced his run against Sinema in January, after she left the Democratic Party and became an independent late last year. Sinema has not publicized her re-election plans yet, but she has been preparing to run again, including quietly pitching herself to donors, NBC News has reported.
She will either run independent and lose or try to make the run to the GOP while stating she hated the dems and was brainwashed. Either way she’s gonna take money and lose…hopefully

The organization’s move to back Gallego is notable — Reproductive Freedom for All was one of many like-minded groups that endorsed Sinema’s campaign for the Senate in 2018, in which its affiliated super PAC, Women’s Choice, spent over $1.3 million in support.
“The stakes in Arizona have never been higher, and electing a reproductive freedom champion into this seat is essential for protecting and advancing our constitutional rights, not only for Arizonans but for all Americans," the group’s president and CEO, Mini Timmaraju, said in a statement.
Sinema spokesperson Hannah Hurley said that the senator "is proud to have a consistent and clear record of always fighting for women’s rights to make their own health care decisions.
