The Texas Alliance for Life PAC is enthusiastic in its endorsement of Kelly Hancock and encourages SD 9 voters to join in supporting his campaign,” said Joe Pojman, Ph.D., Texas Alliance for Life PAC Executive Director.
Hancock said of the endorsement, “I have had the honor of working side-by-side with Texas Alliance for Life and its members to pass legislation that protects the most vulnerable among us, the unborn. I am humbled to receive the Texas Alliance for Life endorsement and will continue to defend and advance pro-life policies.”
