Congratulations to UHPP’s Advocate for Choice Awardee U.S. Representative Antonio Delgado is from Schenectady and lives in Rhinebeck with his wife, Lacey, and their twin sons, Maxwell and Coltrane. Rep. Delgado’s parents worked for General Electric in Schenectady, demonstrating the values of hard work and commitment to community. It is that hard-working spirit that Rep. Delgado has continued throughout his life: he earned a Rhodes Scholarship while he attended Colgate University in Hamilton, New York, and went on to attend Harvard Law School. Rep. Delgado is a strong advocate for women’s equality and affordable health care, and spoke out against the gag rule undermining Title X and threatening funding for Planned Parenthood. Rep. Delgado joined as a cosponsor to the Women’s Health Protection Act which is federal legislation that will protect the right to access abortion care throughout the Unites States.
