NARAL Pro-Choice Minnesota endorsed Mark Dayton, DFL candidate for governor this week. NARAL is a political action group that “uses the political process to guarantee every woman the right to make personal decisions regarding the full range of reproductive choices.” The endorsement comes on the heels of another endorsement by Planned Parenthood of Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota last week.

“We are proud to support a candidate that will be a strong advocate for Minnesota women. I know that he will work tirelessly to protect a woman’s right to choose,” executive director Linnea House said in a statement.

Dayton, in reaction to the endorsement, said, “I am very honored to have the endorsement of NARAL Pro-Choice Minnesota. I have strongly supported a woman’s right to choose throughout my entire career, and am committed to protecting women’s rights if I am elected Governor.”
