MI-SEN: Anti-abortion groups to spend $4.5 million to secure Michigan's U.S. Senate seat for Republicans

A pair of anti-abortion organizations on Wednesday announced their plans to pour $4.5 million into field outreach aimed at securing Michigan’s vacant U.S. Senate seat for Republicans in 2026.

Susan B, Anthony Pro-Life America and its partner Women Speak Out PAC said its campaign will target anti-abortion voters who do not consistently vote in the midterm election and persuadable voters in the Lansing, Detroit and Grand Rapids area. The effort will include digital advertising, voter mail and an early voting campaign.

“We’re energized and ready for the next critical chapter in the fight for life,” said Emily Green, a field director for SBA Pro-Life. “The murder of Charlie Kirk – a true champion for the unborn – has only strengthened our resolve. Now more than ever, we’re committed to speaking out with courage. By connecting with voters and winning key elections, we can save more unborn children and support moms.”

The group also led a door-knocking campaign in the 2024 election, which the group says reached 750,000 voters.

Not sure running an anti-abortion campaign is a winning strategy. But Michigan is a divided state. Just depends on getting out the vote.

Since I've lived here, every 8 years we flip the party for governor. I voted for Granholm in 2002 and 2006. Snyder won in 2010 and 2014. And Big Gretch in 2018 and 2022. I hope we can break the cycle. But the democratic mayor of Detroit is running as an independent, so who knows what's going to happen.

It’s gonna take a lot of donations to keep steering Michigan in the right direction.
