The Voter Protection Project announces support for working mother and Planned Parenthood leader Lauren Babb Tomlinson for California’s 6th Congressional District
SACRAMENTO, CA – The Voter Protection Project (VPP), the nation’s largest PAC dedicated to electing voting rights champions and fighting back against voter suppression, is endorsing Lauren Babb Tomlinson for Congress in California’s 6th District, a newly open congressional seat based in Sacramento, post Prop 50.
“We’re in a crisis, and politics as usual isn’t going to cut it. Lauren Babb Tomlinson isn’t a career politician — she brings the kind of new energy and leadership Americans are hungry for,” said Heather Grevenworth, Executive Director of The Voter Protection Project. “We are thrilled to support Lauren and know that her background as an organizer and healthcare advocate will make her a fierce ally in D.C. in our fight to protect voting rights.”
“I’m honored to be endorsed by the Voter Protection Project,” said Lauren Babb Tomlinson, candidate for California’s 6th Congressional District. “At a time when voting rights are under attack across the country, this work has never been more important. I’ve spent my career on the frontlines at Planned Parenthood and in the labor movement, fighting for families and our fundamental freedoms. Our democracy needs a new generation of leaders ready to push for bold reforms, and I’m proud to be part of that fight.”
Last cycle, VPP supported over 30 voting rights champions, including newly elected Senator Ruben Gallego (AZ), Senator Elissa Slotkin (MI), Congresswoman Kristen McDonald Rivet (MI-08), Congresswoman Janelle Bynum (OR-05), and Congressman Josh Riley (NY-19). Without a Democratic majority in Congress, Trump and his MAGA extremists will continue their relentless assault on democracy, chipping away at our most fundamental rights. That’s why VPP is laser focused on identifying and electing fearless leaders like Lauren Babb Tomlinson, who will put Democrats back in control—ensuring every American’s sacred right to vote is protected, expanded, and never threatened.
