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

One year after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade, Ken Calvert 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 Ken Calvert is with the voters he represents, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee this week announced new, early efforts to hold Ken Calvert accountable for his anti-abortion crusade.

The campaign in California includes:

• A new microsite, expanding upon an investment from last year that outlines Calvert’s dangerous attacks on access to reproductive health care

• Three new digital ads, backed by four-figure buys, that will run against Ken Calvert 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 Ken Calvert has staked out.

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

DCCC spokesperson Viet Shelton:
“Ken Calvert will stop at nothing to ban abortion nationwide. In the earliest weeks of the MAGA majority, he voted to punish doctors for providing reproductive care – and just last week, advanced restrictions on safe abortion medication. Ken Calvert 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.
