Michigan Right to Life endorsements

Michigan Right to Life has just issued its endorsements for the 2026 primary.  RTL has influenced a significant number of Michigan primary voters, so its endorsements will decide some races.  Following the passage of a pro-abortion referendum, some candidates are moderating their positions on abortion, and a larger number of incumbents have not sought (or not obtained) the RTL endorsement.  It remains to be seen whether RTL will have as much sway as in past cycles.

RTL will recommend all candidates if they are all pro-life, but if there is a serious non-pro-life candidate, they will pick one pro-life candidate to endorse.  Their noteworthy endorsements are listed below.  RTL has not issued many sole endorsements in contested primaries this year.
