On Monday, March 23, 2026, Reproductive Freedom for All endorsed Nevada Assemblymember Sandra Jauregui in her campaign for lieutenant governor. The endorsement coincides with the anniversary of the Affordable Care Act’s signing into law.
Expanding Reproductive Access
Jauregui, as a state legislator, has worked to expand access to reproductive freedom for Nevadans. She co-sponsored legislation that contributed to Question 6, the constitutional amendment establishing a right to reproductive freedom. She also co-sponsored a bill repealing criminal penalties related to abortion and has supported measures to broaden access to contraception, paid leave for state employees, and fertility care coverage through private insurance and Medicaid.
Jauregui is also a survivor of the October 1 mass shooting in Las Vegas and has since advocated for commonsense gun safety laws, framing her experience as a dedication to the health and safety of all Nevadans.
Reproductive Freedom for All President and CEO Mini Timmaraju stated that lieutenant governors are “on the frontlines defending our rights and freedoms,” and that Jauregui “has made it clear that she will protect abortion access without hesitation.”
Denise Lopez, Director of Nevada Campaigns for Reproductive Freedom for All, said Jauregui “secured her legacy as a steadfast champion of Nevadans reproductive rights” and that the organization is prepared to mobilize its 60,000 members to support her campaign.
Jauregui herself stated that Nevada “has a long history of protecting access to reproductive care” and that she will continue to advocate for these rights, ensuring no one’s healthcare is restricted by political interference.
Reproductive Freedom for All has also endorsed Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford for governor and Senate Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzaro for attorney general. In 2026, Nevada voters will have the opportunity to vote on a ballot measure to constitutionally protect access to abortion.
