MAGA Michelle Steel Campaigns with Anti-Choice Extremist Mike Johnson

Garden Grove, CA —  Today, MAGA Michelle Steel reaffirmed her total allegiance to fellow anti-choice extremist Speaker Mike Johnson by campaigning together in CA-45. Both Speaker Johnson and Michelle Steel have cosponsored the Life at Conception Act, which is a national abortion ban with no exception for rape, incest, or the life of the mother, in every single term they have served.

Steel’s powerful ally is also the author of legislation that would punish anyone who helps a minor cross state lines to receive reproductive care, including doctors, and once called abortion “an American Holocaust.”

“Michelle Steel’s full embrace of Speaker Johnson and his extremist agenda should scare us all,” said CA-45 Democratic Candidate, Workers’ Rights Attorney, Small Business Owner, and Veteran Derek Tran. “Michelle Steel pretends to be a moderate, but as soon as Trump, Johnson, and other MAGA extremists show up in Orange County, she is the first to welcome them with open arms. Come November 5th, we’re going to flip CA-45 and the House and make Hakeem Jeffries the next Speaker of the House.”
