MRL Singly Endorsed Candidates Win Big
In the primary state and federal elections, MRL PAC endorsed 190 candidates. In the vast majority of Missouri districts, one or more of the candidates running had a stated position in favor of the sanctity of life. Of those singly endorsed candidates running for office, 69% won their races. The most notable of those races were the hotly contested 7th Congressional district Republican primary and the 4th Congressional district Republican primary. In both cases, the MRL endorsed candidate won. In the 7th Congressional district, Billy Long will be the pro-life candidate to support. In the 4th Congressional district, Vicky Hartzler will be the pro-life candidate to challenge pro-life Congressman Ike Skelton. This is a guaranteed pro-life win for the 4th Congressional district constituents.
Roy Blunt Endorsed for U.S. Senate
As a seven-term Congressman, Rep. Blunt has been a consistent voice for life with a 100% pro-life voting record. Missouri Right to Life greatly appreciates Roy Blunt's commitment to the sanctity of human life.
"Missouri Right to Life PAC urges Missourians who respect life to strongly support Roy Blunt's campaign. We know his opponent, Robin Carnahan, has the backing of the abortion industry, and if elected, would be a consistent anti-life vote. In contrast, Roy Blunt has proven his desire to protect innocent human life from conception to natural death, as well as to prevent taxpayer support for abortion in federal health-care legislation." said Pam Fichter, President of Missouri Right to Life.
"Roy Blunt has proven he has the experience and knowledge to stand up for the sanctity of human life. As America faces the challenges ahead, Missouri needs a Senator who understands these issues and has consistently demonstrated his pro-life commitment," said Fichter.

Political Action Committee works for Missourians
One of the most important jobs for Missouri Right to Life (MRL), the largest and most long-established pro-life organization in the state, is done through our Political Action Committee (PAC).
This is a great responsibility and service to Missourians, and one which we take most seriously. It is also a unique and vital mission which sets MRL apart from all other pro-life advocates.
MRL-PAC has for many years practiced what we believe to be a fair and consistent method of evaluating candidates’ positions on issues, assessing their records in office, and recommending them to fellow Missourians via our endorsement process.
