The Illinois Family Action PAC, the Illinois Federation for Right to Life PAC and Illinois Right to Life Action give Republican House candidate Mike Babcock high ratings.

Abortion is not a political issue for Babcock, he said.

“I’ve proudly stood behind organizations like Options Now and Hope Center that support expecting mothers and their unborn infants throughout my life, ” Babcock said. “These endorsements mean a lot to me because I have made defending our values in Springfield a core component of my campaign. I want voters to know that I will fight tirelessly ... to ensure that the Illinois taxpayers are not forced to fund abortions.”


Rep. Monica Bristow

Executive Director of Illinois Family Action David E. Smith said the state needs more leaders like Babcock.

”He has done an exceptional job as Wood River Township Supervisor, lowering taxes so that families can live better lives,” he said. “Mike is a family man, a youth group leader, and I believe that Mike will work tirelessly in Springfield to promote an agenda that strengthens families and preserves the dignity of life at every stage, ”

The Illinois Right to Life Action does not formally endorse candidates but has given Babcock a No. 1 rating to show its support.

Babcock is running against Rep. Monica Bristow (D-Godfrey) for Illinois' 111th House District seat in November's general election.

The 111th District includes Alton, Chouteau, Elsah, Fort Russell, Foster, Godfrey, Granite City, Nameoki, Venice and Wood River.
