“Montana is blessed with incredible pro-life candidates who are not afraid to stand up when preborn lives are on the line,” said SFLAction’s Chanel Prunier. “The pro-life coalition in Montana is strong and getting stronger, and we’re excited to stand with them as they head to the general election in November.”

HELENA, MT (06-04-2024) – Students for Life Action (SFLAction) celebrates the election of three pro-life leaders in Montana’s House and Senate primary races. SFLAction Vice President of Political Affairs Chanel Prunier said, “Montana voters chose life by sending three pro-life champions onto the general election in November. These leaders will stand in the gap for mothers and preborn babies, ensuring that Montana becomes a state where Life is protected and cherished.”
Numerous successful candidates returned the Students for Life Action Candidate Survey and pledged to vote pro-life 100%, including:
Rep. Caleb Hinkle (House 68)
- A solid pro-life champion seeking re-election
Greg Overstreet (House 88)
- Complete the SFLAction Candidate Survey
Speaker Matt Regier (Senate 5)
- A strong pro-life champion seeking to move up to the Senate from House
Leading up to the election, SFLAction sent out 6,876 text messages, and made 4,371 phone calls across four targeted districts.
Recently, SFLAction released its second Pro-Life Generation Report Card, scoring the 118th Congress on key pro-life votes, legislation co-sponsorships, and stances in defense of the preborn so far this Congressional cycle. The four U.S. House of Representatives and two U.S. Senators’ pro-life voting records resulted in an averaged total score of a “B-” for Montana.
SFLAction has educated voters and lawmakers on the need to strengthen pro-life laws in Montana for years now. Below are examples of that impact:
- SFLAction applauded Gov. Greg Gianforte for signing into law SB 154, a measure sponsored by State Sen. Keith Regier (R-Kalispell) that would correctly define the “Right to Privacy” in the Montana Constitution to disqualify the right to abortion
- SFLAction was heavily involved in the 2022 GOP Primary, conducting over 65,000 voter outreach engagements, as well as seeing a Students for Life of America (SFLA) student, Kaitlyn Ruch, successfully win her 2022 Primary Race in Montana.
“We are ready to hit the ground running to engage further in Montana’s general elections and push back against the November abortion ballot initiative should the signature collection campaign succeed,” said Prunier. SFLAction’s commitment to shaping a pro-life vision for America is laid out in our GOP for Life campaign, where we are calling on Republican leaders to maintain and defend pro-life laws and protections within the GOP party platform.
