NEW: Schweikert Will Vote AGAINST Arizona’s Abortion Ballot Measure

David Schweikert is doubling down on his anti-choice bona fides this morning, telling the Washington Post in no uncertain terms that he "plans to vote against Arizona's abortion ballot measure."

Recent DCCC polling proved voters in AZ-01 are strongly pro-choice, with 63% saying that they will vote in favor of the abortion referendum. Additionally, 43% of likely voters said that Schweikert's anti-abortion record makes them much less likely to vote for him.

Let's not forget: Schweikert co-sponsored a national abortion ban with no exceptions SIX times and bragged to the Wall Street Journal that he would "continue to vote anti-abortion in Congress."

DCCC Spokesperson Lauryn Fanguen:
"David Schweikert is proud to vote against the rights and freedoms of Arizona women. When voters in Phoenix overwhelmingly vote for the ballot initiative to protect abortion rights, they'll remember that Schweikert is against them and Dr. Amish Shah is the only pro-choice candidate in this race."
