WASHINGTON — Texas Democrats are hosting an “Our Choice” town hall Thursday night to highlight key candidates’ support for abortion rights in a signal of where some party strategists are placing their emphasis ahead of the midterm elections.
The McAllen event will feature Democrats’ nominee for attorney general, Rochelle Garza, as well as Michelle Vallejo, the Democratic nominee running in the 15th Congressional District.
“Reproductive rights and abortion access has quickly become one of the top issues voters are bringing up to us at the doors,” Vallejo said when announcing the event. “We are hosting this town hall to make sure voters know where I stand on this issue and that I’ll fight for their rights once elected into Congress.”
