Rep. Rachel Burgin Wins Award from National Pro-Life Group

The Susan B. Anthony List, a national pro-life organization, honored Rep. Rachel Burgin, R-Brandon, on Wednesday by presenting her with the 2011 Susan B. Anthony Young Leader Award.

I am honored and humbled to receive this award, said Burgin. It is my responsibility to defend the rights of the unborn and help strengthen Floridas families. I am thankful to have a platform and vehicle as a member of the Florida Legislature to help create a culture and state that values life.

The legislator also won the praise of a key member of the House leadership.

Representative Burgin is sincere and passionate about her belief in preserving the lives of the unborn, said Rep. Matt Hudson, R-Naples, who chairs the House Health Care Appropriations Subcommittee. I am thrilled to see my colleague honored on a national level for her efforts on behalf of Floridas unborn children.
