Vote Mama Monthly Newsletter
November 2023: The Post-Election Edition

Welcome to a special edition of the Vote Mama Monthly Newsletter! We ended the 2023 election cycle boasting an incredible 79% win rate for our pro-choice Democratic mom candidates. And voters made it clear that abortion was a top-ballot issue.

Here are some of the major victories we're highlighting from this year's critical November election!


DEFEATING EXTREMIST MOMS:

Moms are being coveted as a voting bloc in electoral politics, so it was no surprise that the right wing has exploited motherhood to promote their extremist agenda. The hate group Moms for Liberty attempted to infiltrate our classrooms by pushing school board candidates. But instead, their humiliating losses made headlines. And we are so proud to have helped TWO pro-choice Vote Mama school board candidates DEFEAT extremist Moms for Liberty opponents!

ABORTION WINS:

Since the devastating fall of Roe v. Wade last year, GOP-controlled states have been pushing stricter abortion bans, making reproductive justice a top-ballot issue in this year's elections.

  • Vote Mama candidate Lashrecse Aird's primary victory -- when she defeated the only anti-choice Democrat in the Virginia Senate earlier this year -- was a signal of what was to come in November.
  • Ohioans voted on abortion via a ballot measure called Issue One, and in doing so, enshrined abortion rights in the state's constitution. 
  • In Kentucky's close gubernatorial race, Democrat incumbent Gov. Andy Beshar won re-election, defeating his opponent, the current Republican Attorney General. This victory essentially ensures that those who violate the state's strict abortion ban will not be formally charged.
  • Virginia is the ONLY Southern state that hasn't yet passed an abortion ban, making the state key to protecting abortion access in the South. We knew that if we were going to stop GOP Governor Glenn Youngkin's anti-choice agenda, we needed to flip 3 seats to win the House of Delegates, as well as hold majority of the Senate. Our Vote Mama pro-choice Democratic moms in Virginia succeeded in winning 12 key seats — including Russet Perry...which leads us to our candidate Spotlight!

CANDIDATE SPOTLIGHT:

When Vote Mama candidate Russet Perry’s victory was called, we knew that Democrats held the Senate in Virginia. This was a critical race because by defending the Senate, we BLOCKED Republicans from achieving a GOP trifecta of control in Virginia, and in doing so helped prevent Gov Youngkin and his far-right allies from imposing their extremist agenda on Virginians. Russet made abortion the focal point of her campaign, and her victory solidified the notion that Virginians are deeply motivated on this issue. We couldn’t be prouder to have helped Russet secure such an important win for Democrats, for moms, and for abortion.
