Additional Senate Activity

In Iowa, SBA List took advantage of a critical opportunity to add a third pro-life woman’s voice to the U.S. Senate and to test micro-targeting of voter groups not traditionally exposed to our pro-life message. Also, when pro-abortion independent Greg Orman took the lead in Kansas’ U.S. Senate race in October, we decided we could cost-effectively transfer a portion of our infrastructure to the Kansas race and potentially have a decisive effect.
