"Restoring abortion access in Florida is critical not just for women in the state but for women across the region," Amestoy said. "Think Big America is proud to support Floridians Protecting Freedom as they fight to ensure women have the rights they are owed." Think Big America has contributed $1 million to Nevada's ballot initiative and $250,000 to Arizona - with plans to spend $1 million in total. The group last year contributed $250,000 to Ohioans United for Reproductive Rights. Voters approved Ohio's constitutional amendment that ensured access to abortion and other forms of reproductive health care.
Pritzker announced the creation of the tax-exempt issue advocacy nonprofit organization in October. His political staffers, now in the off-season, are splitting their time between the two organizations.
