James Arena-DeRosa (Holliston), candidate for the 8th Middlesex State House District (Holliston, Hopkinton, Sherborn, and precincts two and three of Millis), has been endorsed by the Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund of Massachusetts.
“As millions of people lose access to abortion and politicians threaten to restrict all reproductive rights across the country, we need elected leaders that are bold,
effective, unapologetic champions for sexual and reproductive health and rights to ensure Massachusetts remains a beacon for reproductive freedom and a safe place to access care. As State Representative, James Arena-DeRosa will prioritize advancing reproductive health equity in Massachusetts, dismantling barriers to care, and ensuring safe, legal abortion is accessible to all. The stakes have never been higher in the fight for reproductive rights and health care access, and the Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund is proud to endorse and fight alongside James,” said Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund of Massachusetts President Dr. Jennifer Childs-Roshak.
The Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund of Massachusetts is the 501(c)(4) advocacy and political arm of Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts. PPAF works to protect and increase access to reproductive health care by advocating for state policies, electing local champions, and organizing supporters to transform Massachusetts into a national leader for reproductive health, rights, and freedom.
“I am honored to receive the endorsement of the Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund of Massachusetts and am deeply committed to ensuring Massachusetts remains a national leader for reproductive freedom,” said James. “As the 8th Middlesex’s State Representative, I’ll work hard to dismantle barriers to care and to ensure safe, legal abortion is accessible to all. I’ll never stop fighting for Planned Parenthood patients, for affordable access to reproductive health care, or the health, safety, and well-being of our communities.”
James Arena-DeRosa is running for State Representative to give our communities a seat at the table. Together, we will ensure that the political process in Boston does not overlook small towns in conversations about infrastructure, climate change, elder care, the retention of young talent, and education. With decades of experience from his roles with Oxfam America, the Peace Corps, and the United States Department of Agriculture in the Obama Administration, he has the experience to effectively advocate for the people of Holliston, Hopkinton, Millis and Sherborn on Beacon Hill.
The 8th Middlesex State House District includes Holliston, Hopkinton, Sherborn, and precincts two and three of Millis. The seat has no incumbent after Representative Carolyn Dykema’s resignation in February. Representative David Linsky’s 5th Middlesex District no longer includes Millis and Sherborn.
