John — from overturning Roe to banning abortion drugs, Josh Hawley turned his mission to criminalize abortion nationwide into a family business — and he’s abused his power to do it. Please let me explain:
IN 2017: Matt Kacsmaryk was nominated to be a federal judge for the north Texas district court.
His confirmation stalled for years. We learned he even lied to hide just how bizarre his obsession with controlling people’s bodies really is:
IN 2018: While his nomination languished in the Senate, Kacsmaryk made an investment in his future.
He became a campaign donor to Josh Hawley, a fellow member of the Federalist Society — a group of corporate activist lawyers with funders including Chevron, Google, and the Kochs.
IN 2019: Now a U.S. Senator, Josh Hawley decided to make Kacsmaryk, his campaign donor, a federal judge.
Hawley confirmed Kacsmaryk to the northern Texas district court — despite bipartisan opposition over Kacsmaryk’s Big Brother views on contraceptives and personal freedoms.
IN 2022: A lawsuit was filed in the northern Texas district court by activist lawyers seeking to ban an abortion pill that millions have used safely. Abortion medication accounts for over half of all abortions.
Josh Hawley’s wife led the suit. His donor was the judge.
APRIL 2023: Hawley’s donor judge ruled in favor of the suit led by Hawley’s wife, calling for a near-immediate ban on the abortion pill mifepristone in all 50 states.
This was the first time a judge has ever unilaterally tried to take a drug off the market against FDA objections.
Then, in his official capacity as U.S. Senator, Josh Hawley submitted an amicus brief demanding that the Supreme Court end a temporary injunction blocking the ruling (in his wife's lawsuit) by a judge (his campaign donor) to ban America's most commonly-used abortion medication.
AND NOW: We’ve learned that the mifepristone case, led by Hawley’s wife, will be argued in front of the Supreme Court on March 26.
This is what corruption looks like — and this year, we’re going to make Hawley own it. So if you’re ready to end these Big Brother attacks on abortion and send a real warrior for working people to represent Missouri in the U.S. Senate, please rush a donation of $10 or whatever you can afford to my grassroots campaign right now.

Senators shouldn’t be in the business of using their position to benefit their family’s legal careers and activism — especially if there’s a financial incentive to do so. And there shouldn’t even be a hint of campaign donations impacting who, when, and how a judge gets on a court.
When I’m in the U.S. Senate, I’ll vote to restore Roe v. Wade. But I’ll also fight to end corruption like this by:
Everyday Missourians deserve a Senator who will stand up and fight for their personal freedoms — not another corrupt politician obsessed with controlling our bodies, families, and lives — and I’m ready to serve.
Thank you,
