Incumbent

Population Connection Action Fund is proud to endorse Don Beyer for reelection to the U.S. House in Virginia’s 8th Congressional District.

Congressman Beyer has been a member of our sister organization, Population Connection, and is committed to U.S. action to address the challenges posed by global population growth. In Congress, he has been a steadfast supporter of investments in international family planning programs and an outspoken opponent of policies that end abortion care and other reproductive health services.

Earlier this year, he was a leader in congressional efforts to block the State Department’s plans to incinerate contraceptives that had already been purchased by American taxpayers for distribution in developing countries. Congressman Beyer has shown that he is up for the fight to rebuild the reproductive health programs, both at home and overseas, that the Trump administration has dismantled.

He has earned another term in Congress. We are proud to support him and encourage you to do the same.
