Texans for Life Coalition President Kyleen Wright Endorses Gov. Perry

AUSTIN – Gov. Rick Perry has received the endorsement of Kyleen Wright, president of the Texans for Life Coalition, in his bid for re-election.

"Governor Perry is the most pro-life governor in the history of Texas,” said Wright. “Only the threat of his veto kept Planned Parenthood's allies from stripping parents of their right to control sex education in their communities and schools this past session. We are grateful for such a loyal friend."

Wright has spent more than 30 years working to protect innocent human life. She is the past president of Greater Tarrant Right to Life and served as vice president of Texans United for Life from 1994 to 2000. Wright has led Texans for Life, one of the state's largest pro-life organizations, since 2000. An experienced debater and public speaker, she is passionate about changing hearts and saving lives through education and legislation. As a single mother of four young men, she knows firsthand the importance of protecting and guiding young Texans to maintain our country’s strength well into the future.

“Texas is blessed to have such a strong and dedicated defender of life working on its behalf,” said Gov. Perry. “I am proud to have her endorsement in this upcoming election, and eager to continue in partnership with her and all pro-life advocates to champion the issues most important to preserving the sanctity of life in our state.”
