STATEMENT FROM WILL ROLLINS ON THIRTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN ACT
CORONA, C.A. — Today, Will Rollins, the Democratic Nominee for California’s 41st District, released the following statement on the thirtieth anniversary of the Violence Against Women Act.
“Ken Calvert has been in Congress long enough to vote against the original Violence Against Women Act. Thirty years later, his tune hasn’t changed. In the past five years, Calvert has voted twice against reauthorizing VAWA, endangering survivors and allowing abusers to buy weapons. His hardline stance is far out-of-touch with Riverside County voters, and when I get to Congress, I look forward to supporting policies that stand with women, not against them. That’s why I’ll co-sponsor the Women’s Health Protection Act on day one.”
Rollins’ campaign released an accompanying online video today highlighting Calvert’s long-term opposition to VAWA.
