Somos PAC
Speaking to an energetic crowd of union workers, the re-elected Senator lauded her past accomplishments in the Senate including protecting the Affordable Care Act, while promising to fight for women's choice.
"When Republicans try to force through a federal abortion ban, I'm going to stop them."
