DEMOCRATS FOR LIFE OF AMERICA ENDORSE DON CAZAYOUX
“We know we can always count on him to stand up for the unborn.”
WASHINGTON, DC – Today, the Democrats for Life of America (DFLA) announced their endorsement of Representative Don Cazayoux’s bid for election in the 6th Congressional District of Louisiana. The organization cited Cazayoux’s consistent support for pro-life issues in making the endorsement.
“Washington needs more leaders like Don Cazayoux. Don Cazayoux has been with the pro-life community every step of the way and we know we can always count on him to stand up for the unborn,” said Kristen Day, Executive Director of DFLA. “For these reasons, we are proud to endorse his candidacy.”
In its endorsement of Cazayoux, the DFLA cited his strong support for the right to life. As a state representative, Cazayoux offered one of the strongest pieces of pro-life legislation in the Louisiana legislature and has a consistent pro-life record. As a supporter of the partial birth abortion ban, working to prevent taxpayer funding of abortions and a supporter of restrictions on abortion, he will be a strong voice in the U.S. Congress for pro-life democrats.
“I’m proud to have the endorsement of Democrats for Life. I plan to work hand in hand with them in Washington to protect the unborn by reducing the abortion rate in America,” said Cazayoux.
