NEW FRANKEN, WI — Nic Cravillion, candidate for the Wisconsin First Senate District, announced today that his campaign has been endorsed by Wisconsin Right to Life, a leading statewide advocacy organization dedicated to protecting the rights of preborn children and other vulnerable populations in the state.

“I appreciate the life saving work of Wisconsin Right to Life, and am grateful for their support of my campaign,” said Cravillion.  “I believe that every human life is sacred, from conception until natural death, and will fight to ensure that every innocent human person has equal protection under the law, especially the most vulnerable among us.”

In their announcement, Wisconsin Right to Life expressed the following about Cravillion’s campaign:

“We believe (Cravillion’s) election would greatly contribute to building a culture of life in your community and throughout Wisconsin.  We are confident that you will approach the consequential decisions facing our state with courage, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to protecting innocent human life.”

Cravillion has served for over five years as district director for retiring Senator André Jacque, among the most effective and outspoken proponents for the cause of life in Wisconsin history.  Cravillion is a seventh-generation Wisconsinite and 15-year Army combat veteran, who served in Afghanistan as part of Operation Enduring Freedom.  He is a small business owner who lives in New Franken with his wife Caitlin, a local REALTOR, and their two children.

While Cravillion does not have a Democratic opponent this fall, he will face a pro-abortion independent candidate in the general election, who has the support of Senate Democrats that are hostile to the rights of the unborn, and whose leader recently proposed legislation to legalize euthanasia in Wisconsin. The race presents voters with a clear contrast on the right to life, and Cravillion remains committed to protecting innocent human life from conception until natural death.

Today’s endorsement follows a growing number of community leaders and statewide organizations which have come out in support of Nic Cravillion’s campaign for State Senate, including the Wisconsin REALTORS Association, The Wisconsin Dairy Business Association and Pro-Life Wisconsin.  His campaign has also been endorsed by Senator André Jacque, former State Senator Alan Lasee and former State Representative Garey Bies.
