ORTL Statement on Congressman Walden’s retirement announcement

By Oregon Right to Life —

Monday, October 28, Congressman Greg Walden announced he will not be seeking re-election. He has served as the congressional representative from House District 2 since 1998.

“Rep. Greg Walden has a strong pro-life voting record, for which we are thankful,” says Lois Anderson, ORTL executive director. “He was endorsed in 2018 by the National Right to Life Committee.”

In 2017 he voted in favor of H.R. 36, “Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act.” He also voted for H.R. 4712, “Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act,” in 2018.

“Congressional District 2 is strongly pro-life,” continued Anderson. “ORTL PAC will do everything in our power to ensure their new representative in Congress is also pro-life.”
