“Republican Prasanth Reddy took thousands from election deniers and anti-abortion zealots” [American Journal News]

Prasanth Reddy may be hiding his positions from voters but one look at his campaign donors tells Kansans exactly who he stands with: the MAGA extremists who are bankrolling his campaign.

With nearly his entire campaign funded by PACs and megadonors, Reddy is backed by the most extreme members of his party who have co-sponsored a national abortion ban and voted to overturn the 2020 election.

After receiving an endorsement from Elise Stefanik, who’s only backing candidates supporting Trump, it’s more clear than ever that Reddy will be a rubber stamp for Trump’s MAGA agenda.

DCCC Spokesperson Mallory Payne:
“Prasanth Reddy has left no question who he’d be beholden to in Congress – Donald Trump and MAGA extremists whose dangerous agenda is completely out of touch with Kansans.”
