The Missouri Right to Life (MRL) PAC has endorsed several candidates for Missouri’s August 6, 2024 Primary Election. MRL endorsed candidates in 8 Federal and 5 Statewide races, 11 Missouri Senate District races, and 93 Missouri State House District races.
“As the political arm of Missouri Right to Life, MRL PAC takes its responsibility seriously to our members, as well as to Missouri voters, to identify and support candidates who are committed to upholding the sanctity of human life through public policy,” said Dave Plemmons, MRL PAC Chairman.
In the race for governor, Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft was previously endorsed by the MoRightToLife PAC back in July of 2023. Ashcroft currently faces Lieutenant Governor Mike Kehoe, and State Senator Bill Eigel in the Republican primary, and currently sits at 23% in recent polls.
Lawyer David Wasinger was the PAC’s choice for Lieutenant Governor. Wasinger will face State Senators Lincoln Hough and Holly Rehder for the seat in August.
As for the Secretary of State race, State Senator Denny Hoskins received the sole endorsement in the crowded race. Senator Hoskins faces Greene County Clerk Shane Schoeller, State Representative Adam Schwadron, House Speaker Dean Plocher, State Senator Mary Elizabeth Coleman, Judge Mike Carter, and Valentina Gomez.
