Marking One Year Without Roe, DCCC Launches Campaign to Hold John Duarte Accountable for Anti-Abortion Extremism

One year after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade, John Duarte has continued his assault on reproductive freedoms, despite an overwhelming 80% of Americans who oppose a national abortion ban.

To highlight just how out of step Duarte is with the voters he represents, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee this week announced new, early efforts to hold Duarte accountable for his willingness to hop onto the GOP’s anti-abortion crusade, including three new digital ads, backed by four-figure buys, that will run against Duarte and other vulnerable House Republicans:

The DCCC is making the stakes of this election crystal clear in California. With this campaign and others throughout the cycle, the DCCC will continue to highlight the extreme anti-abortion positions that John Duarte has staked out.

To that end, the DCCC is distributing a fact sheet highlighting Duarte’s dangerous positions on stripping away reproductive freedoms HERE. 

DCCC spokesperson Viet Shelton:
“House Republicans will stop at nothing to ban abortion nationwide, and John Duarte has helped them every step of the way. In the earliest weeks of the MAGA majority, he voted to punish doctors for providing reproductive care. John Duarte cannot be trusted to defend California womens’ fundamental rights and freedoms and, as a result, will be voted out of office in 2024.”

Earlier this week, the DCCC released a memo detailing why abortion remains a key electoral issue for 2024, which can be found HERE.
