“For decades, Nan Orrock has been a voice for women’s health in Georgia, staunchly defending access to health care and a full range of reproductive choices. Without leadership like Nan’s, Georgia would have turned back the clock on women’s rights many years ago.”
--Elaine Taylor-Klaus, Pine Hills
“Nan has shown me time and time again that she has a clear grasp of what is important to me as an Atlanta intown resident and she doesn't let the extraneous noise of State Capital politics divert her attention away from hearing and addressing the needs of her constituents. I support her 100%!”
--Anna Copello, Poncey-Highland
“Nan Orrock is committed to building stronger families and prosperous communities in Atlanta.”
-- LaShawn Hoffman, Pittsburgh |
