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

One year after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade, increasingly vulnerable Rep. Nick LaLota has continued to stand by Republicans’ assault on reproductive freedoms, despite an overwhelming 80% of Americans who oppose a national abortion ban.

To highlight just how out of step LaLota is with the voters he represents, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee this week announced new, early efforts to hold LaLota accountable for his willingness to hop onto the GOP’s anti-abortion crusade.

The campaign on Long Island includes:

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

• Three new digital ads, backed by four-figure buys, that will run against LaLota and other vulnerable House Republicans

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

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

DCCC spokesperson Nebeyatt Betre:
“House Republicans will stop at nothing to ban abortion nationwide, and Nick LaLota 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. LaLota cannot be trusted to defend the fundamental rights and freedoms of women on Long Island 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.
