Advocacy organization Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America announced a campaign in Ohio March 2 that will support pro-life politicians and work to defeat pro-abortion candidates in the 2026 midterm elections.
According to a press release, SBA Pro-Life America is backing incumbent pro-life Republican Sen. John Husted over former Sen. Sherrod Brown, a Democrat and pro-abortion politician. The organization has earmarked $3.25 million for the campaign, which will consist of door-knocking, digital advertising, voter contact mail, and an early voting initiative.
The campaign will primarily focus on voters near Toledo, Cincinnati, and Dayton, hoping to persuade voters to choose pro-life candidates and to encourage pro-life voters who do not consistently turn out for midterms to head to the polls this year.
According to State Director Mathew Mesa, the pro-life campaign is also working to challenge mail-order abortion drugs. In the release, he said he expects pro-abortion Democrats to spend millions to counteract the campaign since they “benefit from the support of the brutal abortion industry, which they force us to fund with our tax dollars whenever they’re in power.”
“In this midterm year, every single pro-life vote matters to protect and build up our majorities in Congress and we’ll be working tirelessly to deliver the wins,” he added.
SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser underscored the urgency of voting, saying in the release that keeping Husted in office is crucial to maintain a strong pro-life majority.
“The contrast in this race could not be greater,” she continued. “Sherrod Brown is an extremist who backs a national all-trimester mandate and was rightly ousted just last cycle. Now he’s back for a rematch, but our experienced voter contact team knows Ohio well and will hit the ground running to expose radical Democrats like Brown and turn out the vote to elect pro-life champions to the Senate and House.”
SBA Pro-Life America said the Ohio campaign is part of its national $80 million investment to reach 10.5 million voters across the country to support pro-life politicians.
