Women's Issues

By Ed Robey

Ed has supported Choice and other Women's Issues for many years. This is why the California Nurses Association and many women state legislators and other involved women support Ed ( see endorsement list).

"I support a woman's right to choose, unequivocally and without reservation. The advances of women in the last thirty years have enhanced our society, but there is still a long way to go."

Ensuring that everyone has access to the same opportunities has been a cornerstone of Ed's career in public life. Among his notable achievements in the arena of women's issues, Ed has:

Improve availability of health care services for women and families by working for a Universal Health Care system.

Continue improving education at all levels, from pre-school to grad school.
