According to Planned Parenthood Advocates of Arizona, candidates are banned from taking endorsement from law enforcement organizations if they seek the backing of the abortion group.
Breitbart reports:
Planned Parenthood Advocates of Arizona has endorsed several candidates, including Katie Hobbs.
Chris Love, who was previously the board chair of PPAA, said in a tweet that “We’ve been very clear that in (an) environment where police will enforce abortion bans we are looking for candidates who would stand up to attempts to stifle reform (of) our criminal justice system. Donations from law enforcement stop progress,”
