Reproductive Freedom for All Michigan Announces State Legislature Endorsements

Lansing, MI  — Today, Reproductive Freedom for All Michigan endorsed two candidates running for the Michigan State Legislature in the 2024 election cycle: Donavan McKinney (HD-14) and Kara Hope (HD-74). Both state representatives are running as sitting members of the Michigan legislature. These candidates represent blue strongholds in Michigan, including communities in Macomb and Wayne Country to parts of South Lansing and Delhi Township.

Reproductive Freedom for All Director of Michigan Campaigns Shanay Watson-Whittaker released the following statement:

“We are thrilled to endorse both Rep. Hope and Rep. McKinney in their state legislative races for the 2024 elections. Michigan has shown our nation exactly how powerful state lawmakers are when they have a reproductive freedom majority, and we intend to keep those majorities. Both of these candidates are crucial to protecting the rights and freedoms of Michiganders, and our members are ready and mobilized to support them and ensure they are elected this November.”

This announcement builds on Reproductive Freedom for All Michigan’s ongoing efforts to endorse and support candidates committed to protecting and advancing reproductive freedom. Reproductive Freedom for All is already on the ground in states across the country—including Michigan—as part of its largest-ever electoral program, working to ensure reproductive freedom champions are elected from statehouses to the White House and that we protect and expand abortion rights and access through ballot measures. Our 2024 program connects voters with opportunities to make immediate, tangible changes to help build a future where everyone is free to make their own decisions about their bodies, lives, and families.

In November, on the heels of yet another resounding victory for abortion rights in elections across the country, Reproductive Freedom for All launched its “Vote for Repro Freedom” campaign. This digital and grassroots campaign will harness the momentum of big wins in Ohio, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Kentucky by encouraging voters to commit to voting in 2024 for reproductive freedom champions as the first step in mobilizing the 8 in 10 Americans who support legal abortion.
