Conservative Candidate Lisa Demuth Was Just Endorsed by an Extreme Anti-Choice Group.

Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life (MCCL) endorsed conservative candidate for Minnesota governor, Lisa Demuth… But what does that mean?

A Dive into MCCL

Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life is the oldest and largest anti-choice organization in the state. Since 1968, they’ve lobbied against reproductive freedom and pushed for radical restrictions on abortion. They use misleading research and fake science to rally support from their far-right allies and insert themselves into legislative processes. 

Their agenda doesn’t even stop at banning abortion. MCCL argues against the Affordable Care Act, which prevents insurance companies from denying coverage to millions of people based on their gender or a pre-existing condition. 

Minnesota Citizens Concerned for “Life?” Not so much. MCCL is only concerned with their regressive, extremist ideology and expanding their political sway.

What does this mean for Lisa Demuth?

Demuth was the chief author of HF 1809, a bill to ban abortion in 2023. Demuth also voted against the PRO Act and the Reproductive Freedom Defense Act in 2023. 

This year, she voted in alignment with MCCL’s anti-abortion agenda 100% of the time.

With a record like this, it’s no surprise that the extreme anti-choice group, MCCL, endorsed her candidacy. 

Now what do I do?

Conservative gubernatorial candidate Lisa Demuth isn’t shy about her anti-choice views. And her close ties to Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life put our rights–and our health care–at risk. 

We deserve better than leaders who are in MCCL’s back pocket. That’s why we have to speak up. Now.
