Womens Rights

Kendrick is the only candidate who supports a woman’s right to choose and the only candidate who supports equal pay for equal work for women.

Throughout his life, Kendrick's character was shaped in large part by his mother, former Congresswoman Carrie Meek and his two sisters, Lucia and Sheila. All are strong, independent and successful professional women and mothers who instilled in Kendrick a deep and profound understanding of gender equality. In addition to being the only pro-choice candidate on the ballot, he supports efforts to reduce the need for abortion by reducing the number of unintended pregnancies. He has a 100% rating on pro-choice issues and is endorsed by Planned Parenthood and NARAL.

Kendrick is also the only candidate who championed the nominations of Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court. Both women were top-notch nominees whose qualifications speak for themselves.

Kendrick was a strong supporter of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which ensures equal pay for equal work for women. President Obama signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act into law in January 2009, one of his first acts as President.
