Reproductive Freedom for All to Spend $23.5 Million in 5 States to Press GOP on Abortion

3 articles · Updated · POLITICO · Jun 21

Summary

  • $23.5 million will be deployed by Reproductive Freedom for All in its biggest-ever midterm investment, targeting Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, Georgia and California voters who back abortion access.
  • The group says it will focus on independents, soft Republicans and split-ticket voters, while spotlighting the anti-abortion records of Republicans including Joe Lombardo, Steve Hilton and Mike Rogers.
  • That strategy draws on recent election results: Larry Hogan, Sam Brown and Rogers all lost 2024 Senate bids after trying to distance themselves from the GOP's anti-abortion image.
  • Republican strategists in Michigan and Arizona say abortion can still put candidates on defense, especially after voter-approved abortion-rights measures helped Democrats win statewide and legislative races.
