American Nurses Association PAC endorses Tim Walz

This endorsement should make Jason at IDHA happy.  Tim Walz is one of 100 candidates for the U.S. House and Senate who have been endorsed by the American Nurses Association.

The group describes the process in a press release announcing the endorsements:

“Registered nurses represent the country’s largest group of health care professionals. We will use our power in the voting booth to ensure real change. ANA supports candidates committed to health care reform that brings high quality, affordable accessible care to all. We support those candidates who recognize nursing’s role in the delivery of care and the importance of educating, recruiting and retaining, RNs,” said ANA-PAC President Sara Jarrett, RN, MS, MA, EdD.

ANA-PAC makes their decisions through candidate interviews, communicating with the CMAs, gathering information on the campaign, and assessing a candidate’s voting record on ANA priority issues.
