Team:
A big anti-abortion dark money group announced plans to spend $80 million to elect anti-abortion candidates in 2026, and Michigan is on its list of targets. They’re eyeing key races we have in Michigan because they want to help Republicans win who have spent their entire careers ripping away reproductive freedom.
Not only does this group want to flood our state with millions of dollars in support of anti-abortion candidates, but they’ve backed a national abortion ban and fund politicians who support criminalizing abortion, restricting contraception, and overturning the will of Michigan voters who enshrined reproductive rights in our state constitution.
We need to show them right now — before their wave of funding hits our state — that Michigan Democrats are ready to fight back and defend reproductive freedom.
We know their dark money will go directly to the worst candidates running for office in Michigan. Candidates like:
- John James, who once compared abortion to “genocide,” celebrated the fall of Roe v Wade, and has an A+ rating from this anti-abortion group.
- Mike Rogers, who backed a near-total abortion ban and voted for legislation that could have banned IVF.
- Tom Barrett, who proudly claims he’s “100% pro-life with no exceptions,” and pushed legislation that would criminalize health care providers.
Michigan will be the battleground state in 2026. We can’t let these anti-abortion fanatics buy our elections and elect candidates who want to rip away reproductive freedom in Michigan.
The Michigan Democratic Party is counting on grassroots contributions from people like you who are ready to stand up and fight for reproductive freedom in Michigan. We’re going to need to raise the resources now to go up against their millions and fuel our winning, grassroots strategy.
