First lady serving as treasurer of anti-abortion amendment PAC

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (KMIZ)

Missouri first lady Claudia Kehoe is serving as treasurer of a political action committee that is leading the support of a ballot issue to curtail abortion.

Kehoe, wife of Republican Gov. Mike Kehoe, was listed on paperwork filed Sept. 8 as treasurer of the Her Health, Her Future PAC. The group supports Amendment 3 on the 2026 ballot, which would undo a constitutional amendment to legalize abortion that was approved by voters last fall.

"She has been a tireless and fearless advocate for the unborn, and a steadfast champion of the pro-life values at the very heart of this cause," said Mike Hafner with Her Health, Her Future. "With her leadership and the dedication of thousands of pro-life Missourians across the state, we can ensure that Missouri continues to be a state where every mother is supported and every child is valued.”

Missouri voters approved the amendment to legalize abortion last November with 51.6% of voters in support.

In response, Republican leaders in the Missouri General Assembly approved Amendment 3 for the ballot.

A group called Stop the Ban formed in May to oppose Amendment 3. Its treasurer is Michael Pridmore of St. Louis.
