Betsy Magley

Profession: Reprod. Rights Advocate

Age: 40

Program: Pennsylvania Fellowship

Track: Organizational Leader

Personal Motivation: The fight for reproductive rights is on-going, and sometimes feels like it is never-ending.

One of the biggest roadblocks to progress is our elected officials. Competent, viable, pro-choice legislators and candidates are rare in Pennsylvania and my work has showed me that the impact they can have on the health and well-being of women and their families is profound.

Current Positions: I am a member of the Pennsylvania Commission for Women and Progressives for Rendell.

Leadership Interests: I aspire to be the successful Finance Chair to a large state-level or federal political campaign. My career as a professional fundraiser with Planned Parenthood has given me the foundation of skills needed to raise the critical dollars.

My experience has also demonstrated to me the need for, and lack of, progressive leaders. As a political volunteer, I have seen just how important those dollars are to the life of any campaign.
