Dear friend,
We did it! Planned
Parenthood Advocates of New York endorsed Scott Murphy right
from the beginning in the special election to replace Senator
Kirsten Gillibrand in the 20th Congressional District. Murphy
was the only pro choice candidate, and we made sure that the
seat remained pro-choice.
PPANY worked quickly to launch volunteer phone banks across
the state to contact voters to make sure they knew about Scott
Murphy's pro-choice status and to urge them to the polls. 68
volunteers gave a total of more than 150 hours of their time to
make phone calls on behalf of PPANY and Scott Murphy. As a
result, thousands of voters were contacted. The Monday before
the election we made more than 9,000 "get out the
vote" calls to voters.
Our volunteers played a critical role in this very close
election. Scott Murphy won by just over 600
votes! We're confident that our work and your support
made a difference.
We want to thank you for supporting our efforts to
make Scott Murphy the newest pro-choice member of New York's
Congressional Delegation.
Best, Planned Parenthood Advocates of New
York
