State Rep. Bryan Lentz, D-161, of Swarthmore, the Democratic candidate in the 7th Congressional District, announced in a release  that he would be accepting the endorsement of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund on Thursday morning.

“Planned Parenthood has played an important role in advocating for issues relating to women's reproductive health and rights for nearly a century, and I am glad to accept the endorsement of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund,” Lentz said in a release. “I've worked to promote women's issues as a legislator in Harrisburg and intend to continue to be a strong voice in Washington D.C. in area where work remains to be done, including equal pay and ensuring that a woman's right to choose is not compromised.”
