2020 Endorsed Reproductive Freedom Champions

Nicole Galloway - Governor

"Without an electoral consequence, Governor Parson will accelerate his extreme anti-choice agenda, including making Missouri the only state without a provider where a woman can access her constitutional right to choose since Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973. I trust women to make their own healthcare decisions in consultation with their partner, their physician, and their faith.”

Yinka Faleti - Secretary of State

"Safe, secure and accessible elections and fair assessment of ballot initiatives are key to ensuring reproductive freedom for all in Missouri. I'm committed to making sure the voice of the 7 in 10 Missourians who support everybody's ability to make their own reproductive health care decisions is heard at the ballot box."

Rich Finneran - Attorney General

"I firmly believe that women -- not politicians or state prosecutors -- have a constitutional right to make reproductive healthcare decisions. As Attorney General, I'll vigorously defend that right."

Doug Beck - SD 1

"All women should have the same rights I have to make their own healthcare decisions without government intrusion. I have been a vocal supporter of reproductive freedom and I'm honored to accept this endorsement from NARAL Pro-Choice Missouri PAC.”

Greg Razer - SD 7

"Republicans have proved that their extremism knows no bounds when it comes to a woman’s right to choose. I’m proud to stand with NARAL in their fight to protect the rights of the women of Missouri."

Barbara Washington - SD 9

“I am committed to a reproductive freedom future where all people have access to affordable and/or free comprehensive reproductive healthcare and education, including birth control methods and abortion without the unnecessary restrictions we currently have.”

Deb Lavender - SD 15

“When I watched my state senator Andrew Koenig vote to ban abortion with no exceptions for rape or incest, I realized I needed to do more. Instead of running for my last term as State Representative, I'm running against Koenig himself and I'm proud to have NARAL with me in that fight."

Ashley Aune - HD 14

"Private medical decisions should be made in consultation with a healthcare professional—not a politician—and I look forward to working to protect and defend reproductive rights in Missouri.”

Maggie Nurrenbern - HD 15

"When Missouri legislators pushed through HB126 without any exceptions for rape or incest, they showed just how out of touch they are with the people they represent.

Patty Lewis - HD 25

"As a nurse, I understand the importance of having access to all comprehensive health care services, especially reproductive health services.

Kari Chesney - HD 50

“Abortion is health care, and we all deserve the right to determine our own care. The 50th House District deserves a leader that will fight for this basic right, not someone that voted to ban abortion even in the case of rape and incest. This November, I’m confident that, with the help of NARAL Pro-Choice Missouri, we can make reproductive freedom a reality for all in District 50.”
