The Real Paul Harris: A Threat to Our Rights

Paul Harris (R) presents himself as a moderate, but his record tells a different story. Over his career, Harris has consistently voted against reproductive rights, ignoring the will of the people in our district. 

In his 2006 State Representative questionnaire, Harris vowed to work "diligently" on an anti-abortion agenda, and he has stayed true to that extremist stance, voting against reproductive freedoms time and time again.¹

He has voted 17 times to restrict abortion rights, including:

  • 2023: HB1340 (three times), HB1469, SB5242, SB5768, SB5187

  • 2022: HB1851 (two times)

  • 2021: HB1009

  • 2019: SB5602 (two times), SB6219

  • 2015: HB1647

  • 2014: HB2148

  • 2013: HB1044

  • 2012: HB2330

His record earned him a 0% rating from NARAL Pro-Choice Washington. Harris is clearly out of touch with the values and priorities of our district.

Paul Harris's Record on Reproductive Freedom

In 2023, he voted three times against HB1340, a bill aimed at safeguarding reproductive freedom.

He opposes over-the-counter emergency contraception.²

We can't trust him to protect our rights, from abortion access to IVF.
